W USA 9 Weather Watch Alert is
sponsored by Morgan and Morgan.
Well, hey there,
I'm meteorologist Mikayla Lucero.
We're continuing to track
several different storm
systems across the DMV.
Right now we are still under
a severe thunderstorm.
Watch for the counties
you see there in yellow.
Now this has been changed over the last
couple of hours throughout our afternoon,
so it has been trimmed back.
DC is no longer in that
severe thunderstorm watch,
but the areas you see here,
portions of Maryland that is
including Hagerstown, Frederick,
you are still included in
that until 11:00 tonight.
I would not be surprised if one
or two spots see that dropped
over the next few hours.
Now here we go for your flood watch.
All these counties in green under
a flood watch until midnight.
Now we're going to continue
to watch off and on showers,
but I think the main threat
for storms has moved out.
Walk through Futurecast here
in just a second,
but first I got to show you
heading into your Sunday we're
waking up with temps in the
60s and 70s across the region.
It is going to be a pretty
mild start to your day,
but when we break down the forecast
you can see cloudy skies to start
and off it on showers expected
for the majority of the day
and even a few storms possible
heading into the afternoon.
High temperatures are going to be
on the cooler side only making
it into the upper 70s to low 80s.
And if you get stuck under a storm,
it might even be a touch cooler than that.
So let's walk through Futurecast here.
This is starting at 8:00 PM.
Notice we're still seeing pockets
of moderate to heavy rainfall
for our far western counties,
and that moves out by about 9:00 to 10:00.
And then we're clear for the
majority of the night.
Things do change up a little bit
as we head into Sunday morning.
This is right around 2:00 to 3:00 AM,
one or two pockets of rainfall
for far eastern Maryland,
heading closer to the Eastern Shore.
By the time some of us are
starting to wake up, 789 o'clock,
widespread cloud cover with just
kind of those drizzly showers.
I do think this is a touch overdone.
So I think, yes,
it might be just a little damp outside,
but I don't think we're going to be
under a complete blanket of wet weather.
We're going to continue to monitor off
and on showers throughout the day on Sunday.
So if you're headed out to the football game,
you don't want to have a
rain poncho along with you.
I'll show you the football
forecast here in just a second.
Sunday's high temperatures,
70s and 80s right now,
82 in DC-79 in Manassas,
78 in Leesburg, 76 for Winchester,
80 for your high temp in
Front Royal and Larae.
So here's that football forecast
I'll kick off is at 1:00 and
we are expecting off and on
showers throughout the day,
cloudy skies and some of those sprinkles.
Now I do want you to be aware that there
will be a chance for some thunderstorms,
so could see a lightning delay for the game.
A few things to remember if
you are headed out there.
Bring the rain poncho along with
you and also bring a little
towel to dry off your seat.
Because even if it's not raining
when you're there, it might have
been raining before you got there.
And your seat will be a little
bit on the soggy side.
So have a little towel with
you to dry off your spot.
And all umbrellas can go in the stadium,
so have the you want to have
the rain poncho with you too.
If you're going out to brunch,
earlier is better than later.
We're only going to continue to see the
skies getting cloudier and gloomier
and Rainier throughout the day.
So earlier brunch reservations
are going to be your best bet.
There are your 10 day temperature trend.
We're going to be all over the
place in the 80s between Sunday,
Monday and Tuesday and then
a nice drop in temperature.
It's going to feel like fall
out there Thursday,
Friday and into next weekend as well.
Now this is a big picture look at Futurecast.
You see as we play throughout
the next couple of days.
We are watching those off and on
showers throughout the region.
We also have to talk about the tropics.
We've got Hurricane Lee right now.
It's a category 3 storm.
It's expected to stay off in the Atlantic,
potentially becoming a Category 4
storm as we head into early next week.
But right now it does not look like it's
going to bring any impacts the United
States at least through most of next week.
We also have Tropical Storm Margo,
this one also a fish storm expected
to stay off in the Atlantic,
potentially strengthening to a
category one storm as we get into
early next week as well.
If we do get another named storm,
we're on to the letter.
N Nigel is the next name you should
be listening for for this year.
All right,
let's get you over to your 7 day forecast.
We're going to monitor that weather.
Watch alert on Sunday because of
the chance for showers and storms
off and on wet weather.
Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday.
Things start to clear out and look much
better outside as we get into Thursday.
Friday.
Saturday feels like fall
with temperatures in the 70s.
