Clouds, rain start off Wednesday in DC region before winds arrive

Fall came in wet and wild Tuesday night and the first full day Wednesday will have moments of déjà vu with rain, clouds and intermittent showers. Here’s what you need to know.

Wednesday morning will be in the 50s with that “fall October feel,” 7News Storm Alert Chief Meteorologist Veronica Johnson said.

The day will start off rainy ending around midday but then the breezy wind gusts of up to 30 mph arrive in the afternoon and into Wednesday night, Johnson said.

Highs will reach the upper 50s to the mid 60s.

The D.C. region experienced a damp Tuesday that complicated the commute. The WTOP Traffic Center reported several crashes during the morning drive.
