here in the district we are dry, but south of town, we do have light rain showers right now from harrisonburg across 64 over towards fredericksburg. and you can see the moisture is moving from the northwest to the southeast. and it looks like this match of moisture will stay south of town and push towards far south of maryland. and you can see the bulk of the rain push into central and southern virginia. however the northern fringe of the moisture will sweep across the area, bringing us light off and on rain showers. and that's at any point today. but north of town, the threat of rain for you is small. the best chance of picking up showers will be from the beltway southward. we have a wave of lower pressure moving across the area. by tomorrow the low is out of here and all the clouds will push towards the atlantic following the wave low of pressure. and then we will see a lot of sunshine tomorrow. and then there is a ban that will drop down into the area, and then we pick up clouds as we head into tuesday. and then the moisture moving through, and the best chance of rain south of town, and ot

harrisonburg 70 degrees. they are cool from showers and clouds they had earlier.as been nosing down from the northeast. we had winds from the east and the northeast. that helps give us a bit of cloud cover activity. we have been getting a little bit of cloudiness from the south and southwest. notice where the thunderstorms are. most of this is west virginia to extreme southwestern parts of virginia. it looks like it stays away from us. we should be good to go. a few clouds overnight. otherwise comfortable temperatures. 50s again in the suburbs overnight tonight. i hope you are enjoying it. beautiful run continues for tomorrow. clouds and sunshine, much like today. high temperature maybe a little warmer. high temperature tomorrow 83 degrees. that is five to seven degrees below where we should be. this is tomorrow at 5:00 p.m. we are good. a couple of clouds. any chance of rain stays away. saturday morning into saturday afternoon we will increase the clouds. notice, this is 6:00 saturday night. a line of showers and thunderstorms along the front. right now whatmax h

harrisonburg, 66 and in winchester, it is 64 degrees at this hour. look at the satellite- radar for our region. again, not a lot it see. we have some clouds over us n.is morning. that is about it. the moisture that we were looking at yesterday evening has gone off to the -- off the coast out over the atlant ocean and pushing up to the northeast. not a lot else happening here. off to the south and west across arkansas, places like that, we are seeing some patches of heavy rain there. here is a look at the surface map. here is what is going on for the course of the day today. not much. that bermuda high continues to be sitting off the coast. we've got another frontal system that is going to come through here but as it is coming through the region, it is washing out. it won't do much of anything. it won't lower our temperatures. it will be warmer today than yesterday. it could trigger an isolated thunderstorm or two. it is just not carrying that much energy so i don't think it will ignite as many thunderstorms as we've seen other days. so today, partly
