PM Update: Rain mainly done, but a few showers possible through Thursday


* Flood watch until 6 p.m. *

A developing low-pressure area to our south and southeast helped keep us locked in cool conditions to the north of an associated warm front today. The rain that seems like it won’t stop coming has mostly fallen. That said, it will remain cool, with cloudier moments and a couple of showers through tomorrow.

Through tonight: Skies trend clearer this evening as any remnant showers end. It’ll turn mainly clear overnight, which helps temperatures drop to the upper 30s and lower 40s for lows.

Tomorrow (Thursday): Sunshine may win out at times through the morning, but it’s the “self-defeating” kind where cold air aloft allows any warmth to bubble up into new clouds. A sprinkle or passing shower is possible late in the day as temperatures reach the mid- and upper 50s for highs. Winds from the west blow around 10 to 15 mph.

April showers: We’ve now seen at least a trace (raindrops falling) of rain in D.C. for eight of the last nine days. April is off to a particularly showery start, with more than a quarter inch on each day of the month so far, including around 1 inch today.

Totals from recent days are mainly about 1 to 1.5 inches locally and into southern parts of the area. To the north, totals of 2 to 3 or more inches are more common. As much as 3.5 inches fell west of Frederick, with more than 3 inches around Ellicott City and just shy of 3 inches at BWI-Marshall.
