tonight. how that affects. a big event. march of dimes walk tomorrow morning. i'll have the forecast. next three days. mid-70s tomorrow. now, could still be a huge span in those afternoon high temperatures. if we hang on to more cloud cover, we could be holding upper 60s. we have just nothing but bright sunshine. we could be pushing the 80- degree mark. a lot of my forecasting numbers coming in. showing me right about 75. overnight showers tonight. then possible thunderstorms. that would be the risk of severe weather. another risk for thunderstorms monday then more rain possible tuesday. overnight i'll show you how the rain is starting to come in. might see embedded thunderstorms within that rain. low temperatures just after midnight into the 50s. a warmfront will pass through and was essentially responsible for this coming in. by march of dimes time i think it is kind of mild even a little bit humid. 60 to 65 and rain is done with.

evening time period will be the risk for potential of storms coming in. even an isolated nature of a storm or two. widely isolated tornado might be possible. now the storm prediction center? oklahoma has washington right smack dab in a risk of these storms coming through. so here is what has been going on. we see the rain that has come up here in washington and more rain that will be headed our way. these storms have just reeked havoc on the mid-south and deep south. deadly tornadoes down that way. still numerous supercell storms going over that region. we are just getting the outflow of the rain that ended later in the day and is now moving our way. so the most high resolution forecast we can give you i think it does a very good job of the most immediate concern rain here tonight. might see an embedded thunderstorm. this is 7:00 p.m. tomorrow morning. our forecast shows that rain is over and done with. by midday looking at the cloud cover starting to breakaway. we could see sunshine and that's why i still think it is possible upper 70s, near 80- degree temperatures if we get

lots of sunshine. watch the isolated scattered nature as this forecast tries to break out with more storms afternoon, evening hours. is still keeps wide as we have a warm front north. where i think these storms will start to initiate and a chance south. once we get past 3:00 p.m. in the afternoon it is still a good shot of scattered thunderstorms which doesn't mean it is going to be storming and raining for everyone but the chance will be there. this is a more general forecast. scattered storms possible. but it is not going to be a washout tomorrow by any means. overnight sunday into monday that's another best chance of rain monday afternoon, more scattered storms and a final round of showers coming in tuesday as the storm finally exits. remember low temperatures tonight after midnight. by tomorrow morning when we are waking up actually going to be 60 to 65 with a warm front that shoots through. high temperatures tomorrow afternoon. i'm still holding on with mid- 70s. possibly even upper 70s to near 80 if you get a lot of sunshine
