Hope You Brought an Umbrella: Severe Weather Warning

2008_0307_flood.jpgA heavy rain and high wind advisory has been issued from 1 p.m. today until 4 p.m. tomorrow afternoon for the metro region. No snow is expected in D.C., but we'll have plenty of rain and the potential for more flooding. Temperatures are expected to remain in the mid 40s tonight and up to 53 degrees tomorrow during the day, and then dip to a low of 27 degrees late Saturday night into Sunday morning. The rain is expected to end between 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, so looks like the Idiotarod could end up being a bit of a soggy affair.

The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch for the Baltimore/Washington corridor. The Capital Weather Gang says this storm will hit us in two rounds over the course of a little more than 24 hours, tapering off after 8 p.m. tonight into a lighter rain and eventually just mist until getting strong again early on Saturday morning.

God, why couldn't this have been snow?!?!?!

because snow would've ruined the dcist exposed opening!

and severe snowstorms should only happen on mondays.

'cause it's freaking *March*! It's time for spring. Be gone snow! Besides, who wants snow the weekend we "spring forward" (Thanks, Congress! I really wanted to get up in the dark again for another month!)

DC has a way of throwing curve balls with March snowfall, I wouldn't be surprised at all if we get some weather freakiness in the next week or two.
