McLean Weather: Six Inches Of Rain This Weekend?

MCLEAN, VA—We've had a rainy start to the week in McLean, and the weekend isn't looking any better. One weather model is calling for up to six inches of rain being dumped over McLean and the rest of the DC area Friday and Saturday.

The Capital Weather Gang predicts it's not a matter of whether a lot of rain will fall in a short time frame; it's where it will be heaviest. McLean is definitely a contender, because Weather Gang cautions that areas experiencing heavy rain in the last few days are more likely to see flooding.

Other weather models have a more optimistic outlook. The National Weather Service predicts heavy rain is possible, but new rainfalls may between a half and three quarters of an inch (except in the case of a thunderstorm).

Either way, you can expect to say goodbye to the sun until Sunday, but it looks it won't rain on our parade through Wednesday next week. Here's the National Weather Service's outlook through the weekend in McLean.
