the exception, light rain towards fauquier county, luray, but here's future weather. 6:00, notice where strong storms are, just to our west. petersburg, west virginia, you'll be seeing them there. storms ahead of that line, but notice how it kind of breaks up. this is for a couple of reasons. one, the area of low pressure, way up by the great lakes here. so it's a little too far to get the sustained storms, but there are a couple of storms here, even around the 10:00 hour, a few more storms. so i'm not anticipating a widespre that do develop could produce strong winds and that's going to be what we watch for, the winds. by tomorrow, breezy, but we see sunshine, a nice day on tuesday, but out there right now, well, we're dealing with the cloud cover. that continues, temperature wise, 82. up to 84 last hour. so coming down, but still a very warm day, humid too. winds out of the south at 17 miles an hour, mostly cloudy skies. as we move through the next few hours, temperatures back to the west, 70s. 82 in d.c., pawtuxet river, 84 degrees. the rain, just to the west. here's the bigger storm
