Residents of the Washington D.C. area are preparing for a string of dreary days characterized by persistent rain, cooler temperatures, and potential coastal flooding. While downpours and flooded streets have complicated morning commutes, weather forecasts indicate occasional showers and storms continuing into the week, accompanied by a coastal flood advisory for parts of the DMV. The National Weather Service has issued alerts as heavy rainfall increases flooding risks, urging citizens to remain vigilant. Despite the gloomy weather, clearer skies are expected later in the week, bringing a welcome retreat from the ongoing rain.
