Rain and a cold front are headed to the D.C. area as the remains of Tropical Depression Sally move through.
Soaking and heavy rainfall will mostly be in Virginia south of Interstate 66 and areas of Maryland along and east of I-95 starting Thursday evening, according to Storm Team4 Meteorologist Matt Ritter.
Sally, once a hurricane, dumped heavy rain as it hit parts of the Florida Panhandle, western Georgia and the Alabama coast. The National Hurricane Center said winds of the once-powerful hurricane decreased Wednesday to about 35 mph, with some higher gusts.
Parts of southern Alabama and the Florida Panhandle are still bracing for potentially serious flooding from bulging rivers.
The mayor of a coastal Alabama town said one person has died as a result of Hurricane Sally.
Locally, the most moderate rainfall will be near Stafford and Fredericksburg in Virginia and in Southern Maryland.
Ritter said that areas northwest of D.C. and north of I-70 may not get any showers at all.
How much rain will you get from what’s left of #HurricaneSally ? There will be a sharp cutoff in rainfall over our area. Nearly 1.5″ in Southern Maryland and perhaps not even a drop in Northern Maryland. Here’s our latest forecast for amounts. Steadiest rain sundown to sun-up. pic.twitter.com/iWloqY57mg

Southern Maryland could see 1 1/2 inches of rain, according to Storm Team4 meteorologist Chuck Bell.
The rain is expected to taper off Friday as a cold front moves in.
“Temperatures will fall fairly quickly Friday evening with strong Canadian high pressure building in for the weekend,” Ritter said.
