are not sleeping there. that tells us they are staying with friends and family. this is a tight-knit community and some families are camping out in their front yards because that's what they can do at

tonight it's raining around dulles and a few other spots tonight and heavy downpours. we're losing the big wind gusts. not all of them have the potential for hail like we're seeing but we're going to start with radar because what's dotting the radar tonight are one or two pockets continuing to come up from the south. if you were watching at 10:00 i showed you how some of these thunderstorms put out a mini cool front and some activity is trying to fire up on that. but it's winding down. put an umbrella in the pack pack or car. we're going to be dodging storms tomorrow -- backpack. this is a estimate of how much rain fell because while not ere a few spots lected rain here along the interstate 81 corridor where it rained so hard that we had flash-flood warnings and our doppler is estimating northwest of winchester 3 1/2 inches of rain. >> why we're showing you this you need to be aware where you had this heavy rain that if you get more rounds tomorrow, your saturated and there could be flash flooding. you'll also probably see fog later tonight as a result of that heavy rain that you had. lets put it in motion. we had one boundary come through tonight but the frontal system that has the really cool air is way back in indiana. so we're going to have to get through more of this during the day tomorrow. one round may be over night but i think that will be light stuff and then perhaps another round tomorrow afternoon. maybe lingering showers friday morning as well. and then you get the pay off because the weekend is looking really nice. let's check out the futurecast. it is tracking a couple showers and again only spotty activity overnight. a lot of clouds in the morning. probably some fog. but then early in the afternoon i think we start to see these showers bubbling up again. if it stays cloudier the storms won't get terribly strong but if we get peeks of sun there's going to be enough available energy in the atmosphere some storms could get strong and we could have damaging winds with them and heavy rain. at 11:00 otto -- tomorrow night we have it on the eastern shore and showers around. i know you don't want to see this but do you see that? that's the radar trying to suggest there could be sleet mixing in. it's going to be cooler friday. we'll have a few showers to dodge around maybe even into the early afternoon. before we get the system out of here and then for friday, saturday, sunday and monday it's really looking like it's going to be quite a bit cooler. temperatures have cooled off after being in the mid and upper 80s. your seven-day forecast i'm looking the looks of the memorial day weekend but it's not going to be a beachy feeling or conducive to go into the pool although i think it will be sunny and dry. we've clouded up a little bit on memorial day. we keep temperatures slightly in the 80s. get ready for rain. there that's it for your weather forecast. let's send it over to new dad scott smith back on the air with us.
