Umbrellas will once again be needed around Baltimore and Washington, D.C., starting by the end of Monday.
High pressure allowing the new week to start on a dry note will not hold through the entirety of Monday. Instead, clouds will be on the increase and a storm system from the south will cause a bit of rain to arrive by day's end.
Prior to the clouds and the rain streaming in, the only weather delay commuters will encounter Monday morning will be in the coldest suburbs, where extra time will be spent scraping frost off windshields.

Showers Return to the Northeast

The arrival of the rain will come in a south-to-north fashion from late in the afternoon to the evening. The rain will continue at times into Tuesday.

Since numerous downpours and widespread flooding should be confined to the Atlantic coast of the Delmarva Peninsula, Tuesday's rain will be mostly a nuisance for travelers and those with outdoor plans.
Reduced visibility and spray from other vehicles will slow down motorists. Outdoor activities could be forced indoors or postponed.

Drier weather will return for Veterans Day on Wednesday as the storm system responsible for the rainy Tuesday departs.
However, residents should not pack their umbrellas too deep into closets. The arrival of a cold front will quickly return showers on Thursday with noticeable cooling to follow for the upcoming weekend.
