If there was any doubt, fall is definitely here.
Showers off and on will continue until midnight, courtesy of a cold front that will settle in the D.C. region on Friday.
A period of mostly light rain will occur this evening. A few flurries could occur late tonight, but any accumulations will be confined to the mountains well west of the metro. pic.twitter.com/R103dndqdk

During the heavy rain Thursday afternoon, there were reports of spin-outs and stalled vehicles that caused heavy traffic in local roads during rush hour, WTOP Traffic reporters said.
Parts of the D.C. area were pelted by rainfall, and those driving on Interstate 95 experienced poor visibility at times, Storm Team4 meteorologist Briana Bermensolo said.
