Dense Fog Advisory Hits Maryland and Virginia, D.C. Braces for Coastal Flooding
The National Weather Service in Washington D.C. has issued a dense fog advisory this morning for parts of north-central and northeast Maryland and specific counties in Virginia, including Stafford and Spotsylvania. Visibility is hampered with fog and mist hanging over the city as humidity reaches a saturation point of 93%, grounding the city in a thick wrap of obscurity.
Locally, there's an expectancy of changeable skies, according to the latest update from NWS. An anticipation of scattered showers and thunderstorms is echoed in the forecast for the afternoon - specifically after 5pm, with calm winds from the south and temperatures peaking around a balmy 80 degrees Fahrenheit. As night falls, the likelihood of precipitation leaps to 80%, with a low dropping to the mid-60s.
Meanwhile, a Coastal Flood Advisory is firmly in place for the District of Columbia area until 9 AM this morning. The National Weather Service warns of up to one foot of inundation above ground level in low-lying areas due to tidal flooding. Saint Peter's, wrought from the cloak of mist, stands guard as the shoreline along the District braces for modest floods, particularly along Ohio Drive and the Hains Point Loop Road, as well as areas bordering the Tidal Basin and Jefferson Memorial.
The NWS details critical timings, emphasizing caution around high tide times. The next high tide at Washington Channel is at 7:01 AM, highlighting the advisory and urging capital residents to reroute away from familiar perimeters that may succumb to the lapping tides. The public is advised to heed barricade warnings and steer clear of waterways that might appear deceptively benign.
As the week progresses, the weather patterns will continue to dance between showers and sunshine, with chances of precipitation tapering as the weekend approaches. Despite the immediate disturbances, no hazardous weather is expected Tuesday through Sunday, providing a semblance of relief as the capital moves through a tumultuous spring pattern.
