Additional rounds of storms are likely through the end of the week. But as the rain departs, an uncommon delight for the time of year will emerge.

Tonight & Tomorrow: Showers and thunderstorms will continue into the evening, making for a soggy start to the night. Eventually, storms should work over the atmosphere, leading to a lull in heavy rain for a few hours. But rain chances do not go away overnight. Another disturbance will slide through, resulting in scattered storms along boundaries left behind by evening rain. Expect an overnight low in the upper 60s to low 70s.

Thursday is somewhat of a tricky forecast. With no major systems arriving, storms will develop on their own accord due to smaller-scale features that are difficult to see in advance with precision. With lots of moisture and leftover boundaries from recent rain, the Storm Station expects approximately 70% of the Capital Area to see measurable rain on Thursday. But it won’t come all at once; rather, storms of the off-and-on variety are expected. A strong storm or two capable of gusty winds and/or hail also cannot be ruled out. A mixture of clouds and sun will help push highs into the mid 80s.

Up Next: A cold front will scoot through the region on Friday, bringing another round of storms. The exact timing will become clearer on Thursday, but there is high confidence of a frontal passage by evening. A rare treat will be left behind. Saturday will be pleasant with a break in humidity and highs in the mid 80s. Such occurrences are not so common for late May. Enjoy it while it lasts, because the summer feel will return by next week.
