4:00 PM: Rain Currently Affecting Area

Earlier this afternoon, a widespread area of light to moderate rain unexpectedly developed across most of the northern Mid Atlantic and spread into the area, resulting in cooler than expected temperatures for the afternoon hours, currently in the upper 50s to low 60s as opposed to the forecast for upper 60s to low 70s. These showers will continue through at least 6-8 PM, gradually ending from NW to SE, with less than 1/4 inch of rain expected.

The next update will be posted tonight, with more information regarding the upcoming stormy weather this week. The 5-Day Forecast page has been updated, as well as a new redesigned 5-Day Text Forecast page.
