We’re watching Tropical Storm Idalia, which may enhance our rains a bit.
The Gulf of Mexico disturbance we were watching Saturday has now developed into Tropical Storm Idalia. After expected landfall along the Florida coast, it should move northeastward toward the Mid-Atlantic. In this graphic below, the 5 percent chance of tropical storm winds possible for southeastern Virginia could arrive as early as Wednesday night. Importantly, as of now, D.C. is forecast to be spared from a strong wind potential.
D.C. may only see slight breeziness and slightly enhanced rainfall as our semi-stationary cold front in our region early in the week pulls northward some tropical moisture from Idalia. South of town continues to have the greater probabilities of higher amounts of rain . The most severe aspects of Idalia are currently expected to be swept out to sea midweek as a final cold front manages to push eastward through our region and off the coast.
We will of course keep you posted if these expected minor impacts or arrival timings change substantially. Be sure to come chat tonight during our weekly Sunday Sunset Live Q&A chat and we can discuss this further. Tune in at 7:46 p.m.
