**D.C. Area Drenched by Mid-Week Rains, Sunshine on the Horizon**

**WASHINGTON –** Residents of the D.C. area are navigating a week of wet weather, according to WTOP’s Ciara Wells. Wednesday morning brought heavy showers to the region, impacting the morning commute. Scattered showers are expected to continue throughout the day, with temperatures hovering in the mid-50s to low 60s. The National Weather Service predicts over an inch of rain before conditions begin to taper off in the early to mid-afternoon.

“Plan for another wet Wednesday with areas of rain throughout the day and unseasonably cool temperatures in the upper 50s to mid 60s,” Meteorologist Veronica Johnson of 7News First Alert said.

Thursday will see a shift towards warmer and more humid conditions, with highs reaching the upper 70s. While the day is expected to be partly sunny, there’s a chance of rain returning in the late afternoon.

The warm and humid trend continues into Friday, with temperatures nearing 80 degrees and potential for showers and storms. According to 7News First Alert Senior Meteorologist Brian van de Graaff, residents can look forward to drier, sunnier weather by the weekend.

“Sunday is the day we can take all the showers out,” van de Graaff said. “And then, next week, lots of sunshine, dry and comfortable. Although temperatures will rise, we can be in the 80s into next week.”

The unsettled weather pattern marks a stark contrast to the typical late-May climate, which sees average temperatures of around 79 degrees. Residents are advised to stay updated on weather conditions and plan accordingly for the remainder of the week.
