It’s going to be a rainy weekend across the Potomac Communities.
Showers and thunderstorms are forecast Saturday with possible rainfall amounts totaling between a half and three-quarters of an inch. The day will start off cloudy with high temperatures reaching the upper 70s, but increasing clouds will bring rain, according to the National Weather Service.
On Sunday, more rain is expected and it could be heavier than what’s expected to fall Saturday. Between three quarters to one inch of rain is forecast for Sunday, according to the weather service.
Though the rain will fall on a weekend, it’s much needed precipitation.
Areas here in the Mid-Atlantic and in the Northeast are seeing rainfall deficits between four and eight inches with the regions being “abnormally dry” over the last several weeks.
The USGS reports stream levels in the region are at near record lows for April 17, but most reservoirs have not been impacted by the dry season following a wet winter.
