A half-inch to an inch-and-a-half of rain could accumulate in the D.C. area Thursday evening as a couple of rain systems move through the area.
Light rain will continue throughout the area Wednesday afternoon with passing moderate downpours and maybe some briefly heavy rain into the evening.
The National Weather Service issued a coastal flood advisory for the D.C. area from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. The tide is expected to be a foot above normal about high tide Wednesday evening. Coupled with the wind, there could be flooding of low-lying areas along the shore, mainly near and to the south of Alexandria, Va.
Expect a respite from the rain after midnight and much of the day Thursday -- with a possibility of the sun breaking through the gray -- before more showers pass through the area.
There’s a chance of rain again Friday before the area dries out for the weekend.
