Heres a look at the day planner. Temperatures will at least be held in check. [ stand by for captions ] were looking at all this moisture thanks to this area of low pressure down in southeast virginia, northeastern North Carolina which brought upwards of ten inches of rain across parts of southeast virginia and still raining heavily with active flood warnings in norfolk. If youre going down there the next few hours, keep that in mind. For us winds out of the east. A few sprinkles showing up near Calvert County all the way up toward areas in Anne Arundel County as well. Weve got coastal flood advisories with the easterly winds. This stuff is going to work its way from east to west. So thats why we have the forecast for spotty showers and occasional drizzle. The guy in smithsburg saying he has drizzle up there in the low 60s. About 63. Prince frederick was 07 last check. Winchester 63. Leesburg, martinsburg all at 64 degrees. Another look at our michael son weather camera, we have broken clouds but mostly cloudy. 70 degrees at Reagan National with a north, northeast wind at 9 miles an hour. Thats a cool direction for us as the water temps are in the low 70s right now. A lot of clouds socked in. That will be the case. Heavy rains in southeast virginia and the lower part of delmar advancement thats going to odell mar v. A. Thats the delmarva. Thats going to be east. Nothing terribly heavy. I dont think the rain will be too widespread. Thats where the yellow alert is marginal and might even drop it by lunch time. In any event, lots of clouds. Temps in the 70s today. Tonight well drop back into the 60s with mostly cloudy skies. On wednesday well start with clouds but looks like well get some sunshine. Slight chance of a shower over toward areas east of the bay.

By 4 30 thursday, notice from frederick in hagerstown back west, we have showers and storms. Blue ridge west out to the Shenandoah Valley and the mountains. Well have to watch this because ravens and steelers thursday night. This line of showers and storms approaching right near kickoff perhaps. Hopefully the timing will change. But for tail tailgaters, you have to consider that. Today a little bit below average. Average is now in the low 80s. Well only be in the mid70s for highs. Looking at your threeday forecast, temperatures will be dopping out in the mid70s topping out in the mid70s. 60s tonight. Upper 60s in town. Hot on thursday. I think well make a run toward 90. Late thunderstorms. Im going to keep it green. In yellow alerts. I think it will be mainly after the rush hour. If it looks like its going to affect the evening commute, well have to upgrade thursday to a yellow alert. Saturday showers. 47 may be optimistic.

We have made several phone call. Were waiting for the phone call back to find out why this is happening but at least youre watching from home. If this is your route into work, avoid it at all costs. I would say use the bw parkway, route 1 not a great option but its better than this and same as route 29 which tends to get heavy early on as well. But again the lanes are open on route 29 at least. Lets go over to another live picture, this time over to 270. Your slowest stretch is 109 to 121. Thats here. Once youre here, it breaks free down into germantown to the point where the lanes divide.
