See it current weather at the Washington Post.

Tomorrow (Tuesday): Rain, possibly mixed with a little sleet to the north and west to start, is expected to arrive in the morning. It could rain all day. The heaviest is expected in the afternoon and evening until late at night. Temperatures are expected to spend much of the day in the 40s, but could rise into the 50s late.

By the time this is done, a thickness of 1.5 to 2 inches could fall over much of the area. We still need it, so that’s good news.
