weather today. forecast is difficult. some forecasts are easier than others. this one is a little bit tricky. here's what i'm calling for. scattered showers until about 3:00, 4:00. i think we'll have a dry period after that, but the clouds stick around. now how 5:00 on future weather, most of the area is mainly dry. any rain is concentrated back into west virginia and making its way into virginia, areas like winchester, maybe leesburg, up through hagerstown and frederick. more in far western maryland. 8:00, future weather is dry but i do think we could see another round of showers at that point. motley crue at jiffy lube live. showers are possible for the concert. i don't think we're looking at any severe weather so that's good news but prepare for some wet grounds. tomorrow we continue to track scattered showers on storm team 4 radar. it's cooler tomorrow, a high around 80, but it's still muggy.
