Rain and Wind After Mother’s Day Sun

The day starts with sunshine for most of the Washington area, but clouds begin to gather as a cold front rolls in on Sunday afternoon. Even though there isn’t much moisture, the front can still bring some showers and occasional thunderstorms later in the day. The storms won’t be severe, but they could push winds a bit higher. During the night, the front moves through and takes those storms with it. The next day, Monday, the front pauses just south of the region while a low‑pressure wave drags rain into the southern parts. Most places will feel cloudy and cooler than usual.By Tuesday, the sky clears again and temperatures stay on the lower side of normal. On Wednesday, a new system arrives, adding more chances for showers and storms that could extend into Thursday. Residents can stay updated by listening to local radio or checking online weather alerts. Schools in the area will decide whether to open for Monday based on these conditions. The overall pattern shows a shift from bright skies to cooler, cloudier weather with occasional rain and gusty winds as the cold front moves through.
