Nor'easter rain winds down across the DMV as lingering effects remain
Rain from a nor'easter is winding down across the Washington region, leaving cool temperatures and coastal erosion in its wake. Meteorologist Jennifer Delgado breaks down the latest radar trends, regional impacts and when warmer temperatures will return to the DMV.
WASHINGTON - Rain from a nor'easter sweeping through the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast is beginning to wind down across the Washington metropolitan area, leaving behind cool temperatures, power outages and coastal damage.
Coastal sections of the DMV region, including areas of Maryland and Delaware, sustained notable beach erosion and localized flooding, according to FOX 5 D.C. Meteorologist Jennifer Delgado.
In Ocean City, Maryland, high waters and coastal erosion were reported, leading to the cancellation of local concerts and outdoor events. Visibility in the area has begun to show gradual improvement as the storm system moves farther north and east toward the Delaware coastline, per Delgado.
By the numbers:
Rainfall totals within the immediate Washington area remained relatively light on Sunday, with official broadcast recordings showing 0.03 to 0.07 inches of rain gathered throughout the day.
