we're already getting that rain moving in in portions of warrenton, frederick and also toward hagerstown. the rest of us we're about to get some as well. it's creeping up toward the beltway. temperatures are on the cool side. 30s and 40s for this morning. that's going to be the case for the next couple of hours but things will improve as the rain tapers off in the afternoon. on satellite and radar, you can see where the moisture is coming from. our winds so far this morning are predominantly south. that's going to turn a little bit toward the southwest as we head toward the afternoon. but still the cloud cover sticks around as well as that moisture. overall, though, the day planner does start off with the overcast skies. those who have dry pavement now will see a little bit of wet pavement later. that's why we're going with a yellow alert for today. as we move out of the 40s, we should hit right around 49 degrees by the 1:00 hour. we'll squeak into the 50s but i think most of us are going to stay in the lower 50s. we could even see some mid- range 50s closer to the city center by that 4:
