probably all day tuesday. close in view, just a few clouds. a couple of sprinkles up towards cumberland, oakland. but for the most part, this front is going to go through dry and kind of unnoticed really. temperatures downtown still 72. still 63 in gaithersburg. 68 in leesburg. and 61 in manassas. and tonight's much different than tomorrow night. tomorrow night will almost be chilly. when the sun goes down, temps will fall. cool, almost chilly saturday night. sunday morning we can see upper 40s in the burbs. so heading to church, grab a sweater. still nice on sunday. high clouds come in late. a super weekend. and then stormy next week. locate your umbrella for monday and probably for tuesday as well. overnight, we'll see partly cloudy, comfortable, maybe a sprinkle. 58-64. winds become northwest 10-15. by morning, mostly sunny. a brit breezy. pleasant -- bit breezy.
