"A pair of low pressure systems tracking across the eastern half of the country will trigger scattered to isolated showers and thunderstorms across much of the region today before shifting into just the East Coast on Thursday," the National Weather Service forecasters noted.
According to AccuWeather forecasters, "heavy downpours may reduce visibility and cause ponding on streets and highways."
As many as four inches of rain are possible in some areas, though one or two inches are more likely in Maryland and Virginia.
Rain is expected to linger on Thursday before things clear up on Friday.
