The First Warning Storm team is tracking decreasing temperatures and increasing chances for rain. A nice break from the extreme heat for the next several days, due in part to showers and storms.
A few lingering showers overnight. Otherwise, expect partly cloudy skies with lows falling into the mid 70s.
Keep your umbrella handy over the next few days. The stationary front will linger over the Mid-Atlantic into Friday and the start of the weekend, giving way to scattered rain and thunderstorms. Keep an eye out for localized flooding. Highs will be in the upper 80s on Friday and in the mid 80s on Saturday. A cold front will move in from the west by Sunday, giving way to more storms. Highs will warm into the upper 80s ahead of the front. Then, next week, get ready for even cooler temperatures. We’ll see highs in the lower 80s by Tuesday and Wednesday.
Tonight: Partly Cloudy with a lingering shower. Lows in the mid 70s. Winds: SW 5-10 mph.
Tomorrow: Partly Sunny. Scattered showers/storms (40%). Highs in the upper 80s. Winds: W/N/E 5-10 mph.
