indicating there are embedded in this light rain a couple spots where rain is moderate. in those yellows you could get 1/4-inch, the rest of us 1/10 to 2/10 and a lot of this will stay south of d.c.

southwest to northeast, 46 d.c., the low tonight, 48 fredericksburg, not bad at all. sentinel radar will show you how this is beginning to fill in, what you're seeing north of d.c. not hitting the ground. there is more behind this. we have another line, an area of low pressure that will develop on a front moving through later tonight that will squeeze out these showers. that's where our cooler temperatures will come from tomorrow. here's why the turn to the cooler weather. we've had an area of high pressure off the coast. we've been getting that nice warm south wind. that's why temperatures
