Washington D.C. Braces For Mixed Weather Patterns And Coastal Flooding
DEBARYLIFE – The National Weather Service is forecasting a mixed bag of weather for Washington, D.C. this week, with gloomy skies, sporadic showers, and sunny days.
The National Weather Service’s current prognosis for today calls for largely cloudy skies, a comfortable high temperature of around 76 degrees, and mild weather due to northeast breezes.
But tonight, anyone hoping to spend the evening outside should be aware of this and possibly make some adjustments to their plans.
Before 9 p.m., the National Weather Service issues an isolated shower warning. Since there is a 20% possibility of precipitation, it is advisable to bring an umbrella in case you are caught in the rain unprepared.
After the potential showers, the night will generally be cloudy with a predicted low temperature of 57 degrees.
Monday will bring partly sunny skies and a high of 78 degrees, making for a pleasant start to the workweek for residents of Washington, D.C. It is expected to be largely clear on Monday night with a low settling in the high 50s. The weather pattern points to a solid continuance into Monday night.
The National Weather Service has released a detailed forecast, and it calls for sunshine and a high in the low 80s on Tuesday.
Residents may find that today is a great chance to engage in outdoor activities before the temperature steadily rises later in the week. According to the report, Wednesday is expected to be sunny and warmer than Tuesday, with a high temperature of 87 degrees.
A coastal flood advisory is in effect for D.C. at the moment, on top of the variable warm weather. Tidal flooding could cause “up to one-half foot of inundation above ground level” in low-lying locations, the National Weather Service warns.
The District of Columbia’s shoreline is expressly mentioned in the notice as a susceptible location. There is expected shoreline inundation along portions of the seawall around Ohio Drive and the Hains Point Loop Road, as well as near the Tidal Basin and Jefferson Memorial. The advisory is in force until 7 PM EDT this evening.
Potential flood peaks are indicated by high tide times; this evening’s high tide is expected at 6:29 PM. Travelers are advised by local officials to avoid driving through flooded regions and to be alert for closed roads.
During the advisory time, they also emphasize how crucial it is to safeguard any property that may be vulnerable to flood damage. Both locals and visitors to the capital need to be aware of the weather and ready for shifting conditions both on the ground and in the sky as it varies.
