yeah, the last time we really had any substantial rainfall around here over a half inch in a single day was february 29th. it's been a long, long time. and as far as this week goes it doesn't look as though we'll get anything substantial. we've got a few light showers out there right now coming through areas of southern maryland, leonardtown, calvert beach pushing toward cambridge. we've got a little bit more in the way of some light moisture, probably not reaching the ground here around beaver dam and ashland right down 1 and off to the west, too. leesburg might get a sprinkle or two. on the future weather some of those sprinkles come through during the evening hours. we're breezy to start the day tomorrow with some sunshine and clouds mixed and then we're windy again for the afternoon so that fire danger is going to stay high. only a few light showers coming through. i think we've got a better chance for actually getting some rain in here wednesday and that i think will be mainly during the afternoon. starting out tomorrow morning a bit of a chill in the air again. 47 d.c. 39 in frederick,leesburg.
