west, still sunshine and breaks in the clouds. eventually, this all moves up toward the coast. we're looking for rain to break out. there you see it on the radar. south of norfolk now. into the eastern carolinas. most is offshore. but it's going to continue up the coast. some of it south of north carolina. definitely looks like we're in for rain. overnight tonight. cloudy skies. tomorrow afternoon, showers breaking out. and looks like it will become more steady kind of rain. and drizzle continuing thursday, friday. maybe even lingering into saturday. one of the models has even been into sunday because it just doesn't move much. not so positive about that. we'll check for you later this week. winds on the bay, gusting to 25 knots. and a small craft advisory for sure. tonight, rather cloudy. down to 48. tomorrow, maybe a shower developing in the afternoon. lighter, steady rain tomorrow night. with temperatures probably in the low to mid-50s. may get up to 68 tomorrow
