Tracking more unsettled weather through the work week….A lot of us had to dodge scattered storms today. And some of us could see a little more wet weather this evening due in part to a stationary front draped over the Mid-Atlantic. Any showers and storms that develop likely won’t move very quickly, which means we could see some localized flooding. Turn around, don’t drown! Tonight, a few scattered showers and storms are possible early. The heaviest of the rain should begin to taper late tonight. 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.
Tonight: Partly Cloudy. Chance of Showers/Storms (20-30%). Lows in the mid 70s. Winds: E 5-10 mph.
Wednesday: Partly Sunny. Isolated Showers/Storms (20%). Highs in the mid 80s. Winds: E 5-15 mph.
Thursday: Partly Sunny. Isolated Showers/Storms (20%). Highs in the mid 80s. Winds: E 5-15 mph.
