Scattered storms today, then more unsettled weather ahead….Stay weather aware as we move through our Tuesday afternoon and evening. We’re tracking scattered showers and storms that could produce some localized flooding. It’s all courtesy of a stationary front draped over the Mid-Atlantic. These storms won’t be moving much, which will increase our likelihood for flooding. Turn around, don’t drown! Some storms could also produce gusty winds. Otherwise, we’ll see partly sunny skies. Highs will be in the mid and upper 80s. Tonight, a few scattered showers and storms are possible early. We’ll see mostly cloudy skies otherwise with areas of patchy fog developing overnight. Low temperatures will be in the mid 70s.
The stationary front will linger near the viewing area over the next few days. What does that mean? Well, our weather will remain a bit unsettled with partly sunny skies and a few isolated showers and storms here and there. High temperatures will be in the mid and upper 80s for most of the week. Temps will climb back into the 90s by the weekend.
Today: Partly Sunny. Scattered Showers/Storms (40%). Highs in the mid to upper 80s. Winds: E 5-10 mph.
Tonight: Partly Cloudy. Scattered Showers/Storms (30%). Lows in the mid 70s. Winds: E 5-10 mph.
Tomorrow: Partly Sunny. Isolated Showers/Storms (20%). Highs in the mid 80s. Winds: E 5-15 mph.
