Rain continues across DC area as unsettled weather pattern continues

Rain didn’t dampen the Army’s parade celebrating its 250th anniversary Saturday, but the unsettled weather will continue on and off across the D.C. region for the next several days. Here’s what you need to know.

7News First Alert Meteorologist Jordan Evans said rain continues on and off Sunday afternoon and will continue overnight across the D.C. area.

A flash flood hit Buckland Mill Road around 9:30 p.m., which was closed at Vint Hill Road due to water at least 12 inches deep.

Leftover rain may continue into Monday’s morning commute. Evans said to expect more wet weather as the workweek begins, as showers should remain on and off throughout the day, with temperatures into the lower 70s.

He said heat and humidity return Tuesday, as a stalled boundary lifts back north of the region, adding that a few storms may occur late in the day behind the warm front. Highs should reach into the lower 80s.

Partly cloudy skies and hot and humid conditions are expected Wednesday, with heat index values possibly reaching 95 across the D.C. area. Evans said isolated strong storms are also possible during the late afternoon and early evening.

Expect some thunderstorms Sunday morning and afterward continued mugginess but not as warm as Saturday. Temperatures will be in the upper 60s to lower 70s.
