Lingering showers from Ian pick up Sunday

Remnants of Hurricane Ian will still be felt in the D.C. area, with rain picking back up Sunday afternoon after a slight reprieve Saturday.

Rain between one to three inches is possible through Monday. Ian’s final rain showers should leave by early Tuesday morning, according to Storm Team 4 meteorologist Steve Prinzivalli.

“As we head into Tuesday, it looks like there could be an early shower. Otherwise, mostly cloudy. Maybe even a bit of late-day sunshine is possible.” Prinzivalli said.

Here’s what you should know:

• Steady rain Sunday into Monday
• One to three inches of rain possible through Monday
• Drier by Tuesday, better chance of sunshine Wednesday

The low pressure center and cold front will push eastward through Virginia toward the Mid-Atlantic Coast Sunday. Steady rainfall and highs in the 50s are expected. By Monday, before diminishing into showers late in the day, an area of low pressure will come from Atlantic Coast.

Conditions remain cloudy with periods of light rain & drizzle. This continues into the evening.
