Timeline:
The storm is on track to make landfall between the Mississippi coast and the Florida Panhandle late Friday or early Saturday and was expected to bring heavy rains and potentially flash flooding.
While the tracking path remains well west of the mid-Atlantic, the system's outer rain shield is expected to push into the local Washington, D.C. region over the weekend. Cloud cover will increase Saturday before light to moderate rain arrives early Sunday morning.
Forecast models project waves of rain showers throughout Sunday, accumulating between a half-inch and one inch of rainfall by Monday morning. FOX 5’s Tucker Barnes says he does not anticipate dangerous flooding or high-impact winds for the D.C. area, saying the system will primarily be a soaking rain event.
Showers are expected to taper off by Monday afternoon.
