DC weather: Showers likely Thursday ahead of weekend temperature drop

Well, 515 is your time. Let's take you outside to Fredericksburg, Virginia. Good morning to all of you just waking up and joining us. Temps are a little chilly out there. We're sitting in the 40s, but Cesar encourages all of us to get outside, even if it's for 10, 15 minutes. You know, get the blood flowing because this is going to be the last day for a while that we're going to see higher temps like what we've seen. Yeah, so if you do head outside, just make sure to hold on to the umbrella, of course, rain jacket. We do get some breaks in the rain, of course. It's not a complete washout of a day. But yes, we are going to see that temperatures do get cooler out there. So you want to at least enjoy some of this last minute warmth. But we continue to see those rain showers pushing in, of course, keeping us mostly in those 50s and upper 40s throughout most of our morning. You can see, again, most of that rain already in towards parts of West Virginia and Western Maryland, even the furthest parts of southwest Virginia also getting some rain. But by the time we head in towards later today, you can see here with the planner that we get back towards the 50s pretty quickly by about 9 a.m. 60s here towards noon and 5 p.m. Then as we head in towards the overnight hours, expect to see that we do have some clouds, the occasional rain chance as well, but temperatures slowly cooling back down into the 40s and even into the 30s. Look at that. Winchester, Martinsburg, Hagerstown, even Frederick getting in on the 30s as well as Gaithersburg. So, again, temperatures expected to cool down. Talking about the rain, though, by about 9.30, this is where we get a little bit of that, of course, rain action going on, right? But as we head in towards the afternoon, this is where we get that little break. So if you want to get outside, go grab lunch somewhere or something of that sort. If you left something in the car from work, best time to do it later towards the late morning and early afternoon because as we head in towards the rest of the afternoon and evening time frame, you could see some rain showers still popping up for us. And as then we then head into the overnight hours, well, expect to see the. The chance shower or two going towards Friday morning, but it's mostly going to be cooler with partly sunny skies out there to wrap up the work week. Then as we head into the weekend, we are expecting to see a little bit of some dry time as well as we continue to have cooler temperatures hanging around with us. Low 50s for the weekend and then back to the mid 50s by the time we get towards a new work week with a high of 59 by Wednesday.
