I dont think we will see too much sun tomorrow. The best day for ample sunshine is monday. Next week. Yes. I mean we are going to see sun here or. There definitely not today. And tomorrow it is kind of cloudy, too. Kind of stuck with a pattern where we have waves of energy coming on through and it just gives us the rain showers. We are stuck in the pattern until about saturday. Things do look better for the weekend, but the days where there are ample blue skies and the humidity is low, that is not in the forecast right now. And gloomenty and gray. At least we are gloomy and gray. At least we are not dealing with Severe Weather. Another round of spotty showers. And i with the rain. The mold spores are high. And thats about it. Another unsettled week. Right through the rest of this workweek. You will have to lug around the umbrella. And now, we have more rain headed our way for this evening commute. And not going to rule out a thunderstorm, but we dont have the dynamics like we had yesterday. And we are not going to be warm enough. We dont have the southerly winds so we will keep an eye on it for you and have the wusa 9 app on stand by. But for the rest of the week, we are probably going to have another yellow weather alert for tomorrow, too. Thursday and friday dont look as wet as today or tomorrow but the unsettled weather continues, but for the weekend, saturday and sunday, i think we make the plans outside for mom. I think we will have an okay weekend, rain chances are at the lowest for both saturday and sunday. And not going to rule out a stray shower for sunday, though. But we are going to look much drier and even a little bit warmer. The temperatures are into the 60s right now. And which is only a few degrees below average. But the cloudy skies, it doesnt make it very nice. The humidity is pretty hi there the temperatures are staying in the 60s. Only going to increase another couple of degrees with the heating of the day. But not a lost sunshine to get into the mid70s like we saw yesterday. So upper 60s, low 70s, and this is what we are seeing all late morning, into the early afternoon, and we still have some spotty showers. And generally, pretty dry up there and cloudy and dark looking. As we head through tonight, we will have more showers come on through. And the one spotty shower near clinton and just north of water, near 301, everybody else is doing okay. We have a chance to dry out a bit. But do gear up for some more showers and thunderstorms, later on this afternoon. You can start to see a couple forming back here to West Virginia. A little bit of sunshine here through charlotte. This is where they have a risk for Severe Weather. And south of 64, really from charlottesville to richmond and points south. You can see all of the sunshine. So even a rumble of thunder between richmond and fredericksburg. Over to the northern neck. And parts of Southern Maryland. That will be possible, too but most of us will see more showers. We, are at 5 30, trying to make your dinner plans. We will have good rain out here from winchester all the way up to frederick. Anywhere goes. But the stronger storms could be farther south. Again, we are not talking about Severe Weather like we did yesterday. By 8 00 tonight, still some showers around the region. A rumble of thunder and even tonight as we head to bed, looking at spotty showers. Tomorrow, scattered again. And this trend is going to continue right through thursday and friday. I dont think thursday and friday will be as wet. Maybe moments of sunshine here and there. But the unsettled weather just continues until we can break this pattern. And it is not going to break until the weekend. But thats a good sign. 69 degrees today. And 67 for tomorrow. We will monitor tomorrow for a yellow weather alert for the morning or evening commute. And for thursday, looking at 62 degrees. It will be a little bit cooler. As well. And it will be cool on friday, too. But here is the highlight of your weekend forecast, mainly dry on saturday. Mid70s. And a stray shower for sunday on but looking okay. And monday, as we head back to work, looks like the best day of the next seven. Andrea .
