The January thaw will be accompanied by drenching rain and the risk of flooding Saturday around Washington, D.C.
There is the potential for urban flooding and travel delays on Saturday. Thunder and lightning may accompany the rain in some areas.
Temperatures will flirt with record high levels during the storm, especially early Saturday evening.
In the wake of the storm, it will turn cooler, but not colder immediately. This is because the source of the air moving in Sunday will be from the Pacific Ocean.
However, strong winds could cause some delays at airports in the Northeast on Sunday.
Colder air will return in stages next week with the first not due in until Wednesday or Thursday.
