A flood watch will be in effect for most of the broader D.C. region starting at 2 a.m. on Saturday and lasting until 2 p.m., as announced by the National Weather Service.
According to meteorologist Steve Rudin from 7News First Alert, the rain is anticipated to cover a large portion of the D.C. area after 9 p.m.
According to Rudin, it looks like we’ll have to wait a bit longer for the rain to arrive.
The rain is expected to become stronger as the night progresses, which could lead to localized flooding.
According to Rudin, they are following a general guideline of expecting rainfall between one and three inches. The areas where the heaviest rainfall is predicted are along and east of the Interstate 95 corridor.
After the rain stops, Rudin predicts that the winds will intensify, reaching gusts of 35 to 40 mph.
According to meteorologist Rudin, if you are planning to see the cherry blossoms this afternoon and evening, it may be a good idea to visit them at their peak bloom on Sunday.
