WASHINGTON — We've issued a Weather Watch Alert for periods of rain and showers Saturday and Sunday.
Quick Forecast:
Friday: Warm with increasing p.m. clouds. High: 78.
Friday Night: Mostly cloudy and mild with some showers late. Low: 56.
Saturday: Much cooler with periods of light rain and drizzle. High: 62.
Waking up to nice sunshine Friday morning before clouds gradually thicken up throughout the afternoon and especially the evening. We won't be anywhere near record territory Friday, but temperatures will still be above average in the upper 70s and low 80s.
Showers will start to push east of I-81 later Friday night and lead us into a wet and chilly weekend.
It won't be a total washout, rather a weekend with cloudy skies and off and on periods of rain and drizzle. Weekend baseball and soccer will more than likely still be played, but there's a risk of postponement and even cancellation. It will still be ok to attend the Landon Azalea Festival just bring an umbrella and a light jacket.
Highs will be noticeably cooler, in the 50s and 60s Saturday. Sunday will be a few degrees warmer in the upper 60s and low 70s. Saturday night and Sunday morning looks like the wettest part of the weekend with moderate showers at times with an isolated storm.
