WASHINGTON — A powerhouse storm barreled through the D.C. area pouring rain on the region and bringing gusting winds on Sunday night and Monday morning.
So far, rainfall has averaged 1-2 inches, making the past 24 hours the wettest in the past two months.
Here’s how the storm might impact your morning.
WEATHER
A wind advisory is in effect for the region until 10 a.m., with wind gusts reaching up to 45 mph during the Monday morning commute.
Rain will continue to pelt the region early Monday morning, but will taper off before noon.
Temperatures will be chilly throughout the morning but will warm up to the mid-to-upper 50s later on.
“Currently, with the rain around, it is cool across the area, with temperatures in the upper 40s,” NBC Washington’s Sheena Parveen said.
