Take a look at this and this is the bigger story here and its raining with temperatures that are in the 30s and 37 in leesburg and 37 down toward culpeper and so very cold numbers continuing with the rain. So it is a very dreary, very chilly afternoon across our region and you notice the heaviest rain down to Southern Maryland and down to the potomac and were seeing drizzle across the area so the roads will continue to be on the wet side and it will continue to be slow going as you move on out and slow going from raleigh all of the way to d. C. And more rain likely not just today and tomorrow, but wednesday is the day when we could see heavier rain. Well continue to break it down for you and ive got the latest forecast coming up at 5 25. Thank you, doug
