Through tonight: Clouds continue to lower and thicken this evening, but we should stay dry through and beyond sunset. Rain is arriving late evening and around midnight, earliest south and west. It turns steadier into the pre-dawn, then perhaps heavier yet around sunrise. Temperatures are fairly steady overnight, not far from 50.

Tomorrow (Saturday): Rain should be at its heaviest through mid- to late morning, then tapering by early afternoon. Flooding risk is probably highest during that period and for a time thereafter. Rain is mostly out of here by midafternoon. Highs reach for the mid-50s, warmest east and coolest west. Winds turn increasingly strong as the storm departs, with evening gusts of 30 to 40 mph possible.
About 1.5 to 2.5 inches is likely by the time the rain is done. Highest totals may favor places east and northeast of D.C.
Sunday: Sunshine makes a comeback — plan on few clouds through the day. After chilly morning temperatures near 30 to the mid-30s, low to mid-50s are a decent target for highs. Winds gust around 25 to 30 mph in the midday and afternoon.
