there and explain who these three are and and, you know, ask them to release them on humanitarian grounds. well, we can definitely call you guys the storm force today. >> the drizzle force. >> we got your drizzle covered. there will be more of it tomorrow. we're probably not going to see sun until thursday. that feels like a long haul and it is a long haul. it's a slow moving sluggish pattern, it will take a little while. it's probably not going to be as wet tomorrow. probably some showers continuing overnight and into the first part of the morning. as we mentioned earlier if you thought the commute because wad this morning and this evening, plan on extra time for tomorrow as well. rain always bogs down the d.c. area. you can see that not a lot happening west, although drizzle is still out there and it doesn't show up that well on radar. we're going to see one more wave coming through later tonight. the bigger batch is already pushing to our east. we've had heavier downpours within that but in general this has been around a quarter to half-inch for most areas. we'll get another tenth or to tenths overnight as this comes on through maybe affecting southern suburbs and then more drizzle than anything else during the day tomorrow. but it's going to hang in there all day with us and it's going to be a real gray day and cool. over to max hd satellite and radar and you can see all the waves of precipitation moving on out, including this last batch here. a little bit of a break and then we have to watch this area. we think that is always just ahead of a little front that's going to really kind of clip the southern suburbs as we go through the overnight hours and probably those showers around in the morning as well. one good thing i have to say, this is welcome rain. so far we've been pretty dry and it's been running below normal. about four and a quarter inches below. reagan and dulles just under that at two and a half and bwi looking at about a half-inch below normal. bwi is in better shape than the rest of us. we can use this. we don't want to be dealing with brushfires. at least it's coming on a monday, trying to put the best spin on it as i can, folks. it's more drizzle than rain tomorrow and those showers will be continuing through the overnight hours. so cool, gray and drizzly, especially by tomorrow afternoon. any of the more measurable rain will be in the morning. and on wednesday i don't think it's very wet but it certainly does stay cloudy and we'll have a hard time breaking out of this. it will be the transition day. thursday looks good so if you have outdoor plans. friday looking good. we'll see our temperatures jumping up close to 80 degrees on thursday and friday. where you see temperatures is where we were pretty much for the day. it's in the 50s. we won't drop much from those levels. some fog could be possible in a few spots. it's the east, northeast wind off the atlantic that keeps us kind of cool this time of year. we're stuck in that tomorrow. notice the wind direction still out of the northeast. we stay on the chilly side with showers and drizzle, 61 degrees, about the best we can do. so those are our two headlines with the cool, drizzly conditions and an area of low pressure coming up the coast. we'll be socked in. by noon 59 degrees. not much sun to find in the 4:00 time slot with a temperature of 60 degrees. we will see this area of low pressure taking over tomorrow. it will be developing in the overnight hours and going up the coast not nearly as strong as the millions of these we saw through the winter but it will keep the showers around and the drizzle for us as it continues moving away, though, the showers will lighten up. during the day wednesday we're still kind of stuck with the clouds as mentioned but eventually high pressure is going to kick in and skies will brighten, maybe late in the day wednesday we could catch a brief glimpse of sun but i think most of us will have to wait until thursday to see that happening. quick look at max hd futurecast and at 10:00 tonight, the showers continue. notice we still have them around in the morning. heavier over here on the delmarva but those showers give way to just drizzly conditions in the afternoon and then the clouds that will be around during the day on wednesday as well. here's your five-day forecast. we'll eventually get the sunshine back in here but it's going to be a little bit of a pull as we wait till thursday to see temperatures juferring up to 7 -- jumping up to 78 degrees. a nice end to the week. saturday and sunday we introduce some afternoon and evening thunderstorms, not big washouts but not as spectacular as the last weekend was. aren't we glad it was spectacular because we've done a 180 now and we'll still be in that position tomorrow with all the clouds and drizzle. >> bring on thursday. >> thank you, sue. changes are coming to the next season of american idol. senior networking executives say
