Today (Thursday): Rain greets even the earliest of risers. The heaviest rain may occur in the late morning and afternoon, when the core of Zeta’s remnants make their closest approach. At least one to two inches of rain are likely and a few pockets of flooding cannot be ruled out near streams and in poor drainage areas. Winds from the northeast may gust to 15 to 25 mph during the afternoon and even 30 to 40 mph into Southern Maryland. With the rain, temperatures hold steady in the upper 50s to near 60. Confidence: Medium-High
Tonight: Rain continues and, while it may not be as heavy as during the day and could pause, up to another inch of rain could fall by the end of the night. Winds from the north are occasionally gusty. Lows fall to the low to mid-40s. Confidence: Medium-High
