ATL (Newcomb 8-5) @ WASH (Gonzalez 6-6), Sat 7.21.18, 7:05pm

Weather looks very questionable for tonight. Timeline has been pushed back several hours as the low pressure area slowly advances. Steady rain is imminent in the DC area. Look for rain, heavy at times, and occasion thunderstorms, throughout the day. Precipitation may become a tad lighter and more intermittent this evening but probably won't shut down entirely until very late, maybe around midnight. Expect a general 1"+ in the DC area today but the potential is there for 2" or even higher amounts in areas that receive heavy downpours and multiple thunderstorms. After a dry start early tomorrow more showers pick up in the PM. Tomorrow's precipitation will be more showery and intermittent in nature, but still could deliver some heavy downpours, with thunderstorms possible in the PM. Right now the greatest threat for heavy rain tomorrow appears to be later in the afternoon, evening, and into the overnight hours but showers, some heavy, and a thunderstorm or two are also possible before that. I'll take a look as things develop this afternoon. -PA

GO BRAVES!
