The rain from Mother's Day weekend didn't fully clear overnight. If you're heading out Monday morning in Washington, you'll want an umbrella from the moment you walk out the door.
Here's what that means in practice for your commute. Morning rush hour is the worst window.
Monday's showers matter, but the bigger shift this week comes Tuesday. High pressure moves in overnight and brings a significant cooldown with it.
One thing Monday's rain won't fix: the D.C. area is running five point eight inches below normal rainfall for the year. That's a meaningful deficit, and this system isn't going to close it.
After Tuesday's clear skies, another weather system approaches Wednesday. The timing and intensity of that one aren't fully defined yet, which is the honest answer at this point in the forecast window.
The clearest near-term watchpoints are these. Get through Monday morning with an umbrella and patience on the roads.
