A coastal weather system is set to bring cooler temperatures and periods of rain to the Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia areas from Monday through Thursday.
Afternoon highs will remain below the late-September average, ranging from 60°F to 77°F (15°C to 25°C).

Impact & Risks

The unsettled weather pattern will bring cooler-than-normal temperatures and damp conditions, which may affect outdoor activities and travel plans. A wet commute is possible on Tuesday morning due to widespread rain on Monday night. Breezy conditions, with gusts up to 25 mph on Tuesday, may cause minor disruptions. The persistent cloud cover and dampness could lead to a raw, chilly feel, especially during the evenings. Residents should prepare for potential delays and slippery roads during periods of rain.
