Downpours on Wednesday to bring D.C. its wettest day in months. [View all]

The Washington region is deep in drought, but a substantial rainstorm on the way Wednesday should help ease its intensity. At least 1 to 2 inches of rain should fall — the most from any storm in more than two months.

The downpours may be particularly heavy because they are being fed by an atmospheric river, a narrow plume of deep moisture originating from the tropics. Some spotty flooding is even possible in areas of poor drainage.
