After a beautiful weekend in the Nation's Capital, a bout of drenching thunderstorms is on the way, which will lead to a threat for flash and urban flooding.
Monday will start out nice with a good deal of sunshine and high temperatures close to normal, near 84 degrees.
Clouds will begin to increase late in the day Monday and Monday night as low pressure lifts into the eastern Great Lakes.

A few showers and thunderstorms could rumble across the District as early as late Monday night but they will be scattered in nature.
Showers and thunderstorms will become more widespread on Tuesday, becoming heavy at times.
The evening commute Tuesday could be very difficult, especially if folks are traveling northeastward. Commuters may even have to dodge some detours around any localized flooding problems that develop.
