Intense coastal storm to drench D.C. area Sunday and Sunday night.
Many spots could receive 2 to 3 inches of rain if the storm reaches its potential. Areas of flooding are possible Sunday night.
One of the more powerful winter storms in years is set to develop along the East Coast this weekend, bringing heavy, wind-driven rain to the Washington region Sunday afternoon and especially Sunday night. It could produce record-challenging amounts of rain for the time of year and cause flooding in some areas.
Winds could gust over 30 mph throughout much of the area Sunday night and over 40 mph near the Chesapeake Bay. Widespread power outages are not expected, but isolated outages are not out of the question.
