Washington, D.C. – Wet roads and slower commutes could begin as early as Monday morning across the D.C. metro, with a multi-day stretch of showers building toward heavier midweek storms.
According to the National Weather Service in Baltimore/Washington, scattered showers develop Monday with highs between 58 and 70 degrees, followed by a slight uptick in activity Tuesday. By Wednesday afternoon, widespread showers and thunderstorms are expected as a stalled front lingers over the region, increasing rainfall coverage and intensity through the evening commute.
The heaviest impacts are likely along the I-95 corridor, including Washington, Baltimore, Silver Spring, and Alexandria, where repeated rainfall could lead to ponding on roads and reduced visibility below one mile at times. Temperatures will climb into the low to mid-80s by Wednesday, adding instability for stronger storms.
Metro riders and drivers should plan for delays, especially after 3 p.m. Wednesday, and avoid flood-prone roadways. Secure outdoor items and keep devices charged in case of isolated outages.
This unsettled pattern continues with daily shower chances through the end of the week, and additional advisories may be issued as conditions evolve.
