11:20 pm
very, very late sunday. so high temperatures tomorrow anywhere from 61 degrees to the north frederick, to close to 70 in fredericksburg, 68 degrees around pax river. any showers, best chance after 2:00 tomorrow. but again, you want to be ready. pack the umbrella. here we are with a look at your forecast. we're going to stay in the 60s in the weekend. i don't think we'll tap out over the 70-degree mark until we hit monday right now. and as far as tuesday goes, it's looking like the warmest day out of the workweek. right now wednesday we could get strong trhunderstorms, see high winds. that means the possibility of isolated power outages. right now, your wettest period will be friday night into saturday morning. again, the weekend upcoming, looking like it could be very salvageable, with a lot of clouds around.
