Alright, we are on weather watch.
Happy Friday.
Everybody we did have some sprinkles and
light showers for the early morning hours.
We had expected that those have
mostly cleared away from the DMV.
If you're watching this late
morning and midday,
it's looking really nice out there,
but we have the clouds early to
start the day some sunshine early,
giving way to a mostly
sunny rest of this day.
At noon we're in the upper
70s later this afternoon.
Low and maybe mid 80s.
That's it.
For temperatures that's below average
or normal for this time of year,
our average high is about 89 degrees,
so it'll be shy of that by several degrees.
And again,
the humidity's not going to be an issue.
We have a northerly breeze all day long.
At times it may be a little breezy,
but overall fantastic stuff here.
Right on through the evening.
If you have patio plans for lunch.
Patio plans this afternoon
or evening after work,
or after the kiddos come back from
school or day camp, it is looking good.
Now the Futurecast did still have some
lingering sprinkles and showers over
Southern Maryland for the early hours,
but again, everything is gone by midday
and we'll be flushed with sunny skies.
Here in the metro again at lunchtime,
it's only 79 here in the
district with low to mid 70s.
Or should I say mid upper 70s,
Martinsburg, Frederick, Manassas,
Culpepper, down through Stafford
and Spotsylvania as well.
Southern Maryland.
A similar story.
And it's not humid as well.
This is 4 in the afternoon,
close to our high temperature of the day.
I'm going 84 here in the district.
Again,
that is 5 shy of what is
normal for this time of year.
So cooler than average temperatures
here across the region.
Everyone should get to about 80
degrees in the metro and even
up and down the Shenandoah.
Even though the model has upper 70s,
I think 80s doable.
Winchester Front Royal and Martinsburg.
OK this evening if you are outside
skies remain clear you'll get a
glimpse of just past full moon.
And it should be a beautiful evening
here in the region with 70s eight 9:00
o'clock this evening under a dry sky.
The reason why the weather is going
to be so nice is we had that second
front pull through early this morning.
That's what brought us to the clouds.
And the early showers and even a couple
of thunderstorms South of Fredericksburg.
And here's high pressure.
It's building in from the north and West now.
Tomorrow does look like a
blue sky day for most of us,
especially from DC towards the ocean.
But if you are up in the mountain areas,
you may see a few more clouds, no big deal.
No precipitation coming out of that.
As high pressure continues to
dominate through your Saturday,
Sunday starts off dry,
we will be watching that high
pressure sort of break down
and clouds will begin to
increase ahead of our next weather.
Which is still several 100 miles to the
West on Sunday morning by Sunday afternoon,
starting to get some hints of
some rain trying to push into
Virginia and West Virginia.
We may even see a sprinkle get in towards
our region by late Sunday evening.
Sunday night, the front that's going
to drive our next weather system,
which is actually being pushed in here
by what we call an upper level low.
It's going to come in here for Monday and
that'll produce scattered showers across
the area and even some thunderstorms.
Good news is there's not a ton.
Of energy, and since we're not super hot,
that's not going to contribute
to the thunderstorm energy,
so I don't expect severe weather
at this point.
Doesn't look like strong thunderstorms,
and there's not a ton of
moisture with this Monday system.
But enough for us to see scattered
showers and storms off and on
through your day on Monday.
And some maybe moderate downpours,
but I think flooding will not be a threat.
Of course, if this changes,
we'll let you know you want to stay with us.
This does look like a weather watch alert day
because it could impact your outside plans,
and if you have to work outside or
for those who are commuting on Monday,
work school bus, you know,
train anything that gets you outside
for more than a couple of minutes.
Some impacts here on Monday.
It's probably the best chances for
rain coming in on Monday afternoons.
This cold front moves through now.
The frontal system slides E.
We're still dealing with showers on Tuesday.
I think the showers will be a
little bit lighter.
Not as widespread,
but it may also be a second
weather Watch alert day.
We'll keep an eye on that for now, though.
Monday is the day we're really
keying in on for next week.
Back to Friday and the weekend.
Fantastic for runs and jogs and just really
splendid for those cookouts and barbecues.
Get together with family and friends.
You are.
Flying through the weekend,
get outside and that's are in town.
We've got festivals of of various kinds,
all kinds of events.
You could check out our nine
things too on our website for an
idea of what to do this weekend,
60s and 70s here.
This morning, clouds decreasing.
Just 70s to low,
mid 80s this afternoon under that sunny sky
and then this is what I was talking about.
Look how cool we're going to be tonight,
63 in town but 50s from Rockville to
Purceville and down towards Berryville
and Laray and Madison as well.
60 tonight in Fredericksburg,
so a lot of us could open a window.
And then tomorrow,
just barely getting an 80 in Martinsburg.
Low 80s here in the district,
Low 80s across Prince Georges,
Fairfax and Montgomery counties,
and 82 for the high tomorrow
in Fredericksburg.
Alright,
so 80s through the weekend,
really nice.
So clouds will increase Sunday,
Monday, looks like our weather
Watch Alert day only 70s on Monday,
and staying in the 70s.
Tuesday, another warm up
for Wednesday and Thursday.
