Welcome to cwg.live, updated around-the-clock by Capital Weather Gang meteorologists.
Happening now: Any morning showers should be fairly scattered and light. Better chance of some showers and thunderstorms, maybe a few strong ones, this afternoon with highs in the 70s.
What's next? Trending dry for Monday, then shower and storm chances rise again by Tuesday. Highs could be near 90 by Thursday.
Today's daily digit — 5/10: Dodging some raindrops early — and maybe some heavier showers and storms late — is the name of the game with highs in the 70s. | 🤚 Your call?
The digit is a somewhat subjective rating of the day's weather, on a 0-to-10 scale.
Forecast in detail
Today (Sunday): Mostly cloudy with scattered light to moderate showers possible during the morning hours. More numerous showers and thunderstorms are likely in the afternoon. It's uncertain if we'll see storms with strong winds and even a tornado threat around here, or if that risk will be mainly south and west of our area. Otherwise it's pretty humid with highs in the mid-70s. Confidence: Medium
Tonight: The chance of a few showers and a thunderstorm continues into the evening hours, then mostly cloudy overnight with lows in the mid-60s. Confidence: Medium
Tomorrow (Monday): Mostly cloudy morning skies should turn partly sunny in the afternoon. That helps highs to the upper 70s and low 80s. Still on the humid side with light winds from the southeast. Confidence: Medium-High
Tomorrow night: Plenty of clouds with an isolated shower possible in the evening, then an increasing chance of showers and possibly thunderstorms overnight. Lows in the upper 60s. Confidence: Low-Medium
A look ahead
Mostly cloudy for much of Tuesday as an approaching cold front keeps the chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms going during the morning into afternoon. Highs should reach the low 80s, then decreasing rain chances and clearing skies should arrive at some point during the midafternoon into early evening. Confidence: Low-Medium
After the front passes, Wednesday and Thursday are looking dry and partly to mostly sunny, with highs warming from the 80s on Wednesday to perhaps near 90 on Thursday. Confidence: Medium
