Here comes the sun: D.C. gets a respite after 11 days of rain

Capital Weather Gang (above) spotted a glimpse of clouds breaking over D.C. just after 4pm Wednesday.

• D.C. saw rain from several weather systems in September, even before moisture from Hurricane Helene and its remnants made its way here, per CWG.
• What's even more unusual is that this time of year is more known for dry, sunny autumnal weather.

By the numbers: D.C.'s rainy streak may have felt never-ending, but it's not quite a record: There were 15 straight days of measurable rain in 2016.
