Scattered rain showers are expected to swing through Reston this week as the former Hurricane Nate slogs through the region.
The storm was downgraded over the weekend from a hurricane to a tropical storm and later to a tropical depression, but it will still send a wave of rain across the East Coast. Nate sped through the Gulf Coast over the weekend as a Category 1 Storm, leaving more than 100,000 customers without electricity in the region. The hurricane was also the first to make landfall in Mississippi since Katrina in 2005.
In Reston, the National Weather Service expects a break from the rain on Tuesday, followed by back-to-back showers on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
Although #Nate is less of a factor to our weather this PM – it's HUMID & an isolated shower/storm possible. @wusa9 pic.twitter.com/tvbbIUyQno
