As we get to the end of the week, another pattern will bring more rain to town as we head to the late week. Lets get started. Bell Haven Country Club in alexandria. Still 62 degrees. Eastsoutheasterly wind. Pretty mild wind direction. Temperatures not an issue right now. Will turn a bit cooler later in the afternoon when the winds turn around to the north. It minute. When its not raining, it will look like its just about to and probably will rain. A lot of rain out there. As far as numbers go across the area couple of totals and current conditions. Sperryville, 62 degrees. Manassas at 64. Same in fort washington. Closing in on 1 2 inch. We thought that would be the average throughout the area. With more batches coming in we can see the totals go a little higher. It looks like pretty much the entire area is covered with rain. There are a few patches here and there without rain being detected by radar. Every now and then with you checking on line or on the app, you see a little yellow patch. That means its localized areas of a little heavier rain. In the rain we have temperatures in the 60s metro area and most areas to the south and a little cooler weather to the north. But its going to be a slow process and that slightly cooler air coming to the south. We have a stationary front across the area and area of low pressure is going to ride right along it. It should come near the district or a little bit to the south. Behind it the winds are out of the north and the areas are cooler up there. There, well see it locked up into the areas of rain moving alon the front and as the low gets close enough, that will bring in a change to northerly winds and make it a little cooler. Our futurecast here set for this afternoon shows the same pattern we see on radar right now, it kind of goes into batches as we head through the early evening hours here. And then the steadiest area of rain goes off shore. So as that low swings out, we start to see some improvement and pretty much just tapering off and moving out of the way. By early tonight and early tomorrow morning, well see some breaks in the futurecast and sunshine. More rain will be developing to the south. Well keep an eye on that. That may try to make a run on us but may hold off until later in the week. Lets give you the numbers in details. Tomorrow after the rainy tuesday, partly sunny pleasant wednesday with highs around 67 degrees. Winds out of the northnortheast at six to 12 miles an hour. As we head into the weekend, looks like the best chances of rain will be on friday coming back. However, still some chances of showers on saturday. Were hoping theyre just going to be restricted to the Morning Hours and salvaging sunday with a little bit of sunshine. Temperatures at or a few degrees above average and then back into the shower business spoebl here by monday. Nothing terrible. 50 50 for chances on friday. Best chance it will improve during the day on sunday. Jummy ok. Well take it. April showers. Doug they bring may flowers. There you go. Jummy thank you.
