Scattered showers build in for Tuesday; gloomy weather for next several days
Monday evening stays mostly cloudy so star gazing will be a tough sell this evening. Can't rule out an isolated sprinkle, especially for those down further to the south, but most will catch some misty cloudy skies for the first half of tonight. Scattered showers will slowly build in from southwest to northeast Tuesday morning with temps in the low 50s.
Tuesday morning will be a soggy commute as a cluster of showers move in. Pack an umbrella if you plan to travel and keep it standby with scattered showers still a good bet into the afternoon. Daytime highs on Tuesday will be in the cool 50s.
Most spots are looking at half an inch to an inch rain Tuesday through Wednesday night. While flooding concerns won't be the biggest given our past few days of dry time, can't rule out a few low-lying issues with some backup on poor drainage areas.
Tuesday evening, at least early on, promises some breaks mixed with some hit or miss showers. Cloudy skies will remain as another round of scattered showers arrives early Wednesday morning. It is still a gloomy stretch of rain and cloudy skies with overnight lows dropping into the low 50s.
Wednesday morning especially looks soggy with scattered showers remaining an issue. As a nearby low pressure system slowly departs, we'll start to see some more dry time develop into the afternoon. Can't rule some more pop-up storms with rumbles of thunder, but severe weather looks unlikely. Daytime highs will make a run for the 70s.
Our Interactive Radar
Thursday definitely looks the better of the next three days after a soggy pattern Tuesday through Wednesday. With a frontal boundary departing, all we'll see is some isolated showers and storms with plenty of breaks mixed in. Daytime highs will climb back into the 70s before scattered showers return on Friday morning.
Friday sees scattered showers arrive early in the morning so once again, don't forget to pack something to keep yourself dry. Scattered showers will remain into the afternoon as our evening and overnight starts to dry out some. Daytime highs will try to reach into the middle to upper 60s.
Saturday sees a cold front drop down from the north. As it does, it will bring in showers across the mountains but not so much when it comes to the lowlands. At this point, best rain chances look to remain east of the I-77 corridor as we see a hit or miss day with daytime highs in the 70s.
Sunday finally brings back dry time area wide as a high pressure system moves in. Partly cloudy skies will be around but the chance for rain is decreasing more and more. Because of some extra dry time and sunshine, expect daytime highs to reach back into the 70s.
#WeatherTogether
In your extended forecast, we enjoy an extended period of dry time with an area of high pressure around. Passing clouds and a gradual warmup will be the two biggest talking points as we gradually warm up into the 80s. Our next round of rain looks to arrive by the end of the following week.

On D-day anniversary, the roar was distant thunder
It was the 81st anniversary of D-Day on Friday, and in Washington and its surroundings all seemed atmospherically serene, with any sounds of thunder coming from distant and isolated storms, and any possible sight or sniff of smoke resulting from far-off wildfires. Overall it seemed a calm and low-key day, a day of somewhat blurry identity, one that suggested either late spring or early summer. Classifying it more precisely probably depended as much as anything on personal feelings about what makes the seasons, and how and when one gives way to the next. By early evening, Washington had spent hours watching the skies grow dark as what appeared to be a fair facsimile of storm clouds assembled. But as of 8 p.m. no rain had fallen in the city itself. The main accomplishment of the gathering of clouds seemed to be to shield the city from the direct rays of the sun, which are at this time of year at the peak of their power. It was neither a sunny day nor a day without sunshine. Dulles International Airport reported a thunderstorm, and .05 of an inch of rain fell there, between 3 and 5 p.m. Within sight of the airport loomed those towers of cloud known as cumulonimbus, the sort that spread not out but upward, the sky's own skyscrapers, Often they portend thunder and lightning. It didn't seem possible to be certain that a shower was not in store elsewhere in the area. In Washington the high temperature reached 86 degrees, four degrees above the average high for June 6 in the city. It was the warmest of the six days of June thus far, but probably not warm enough to complain about on Friday or any other day. And most of the time the mercury stayed below that, The wind caused little stir. Most of the time it seemed well below 10 mph. Signs of summer could probably be found in the dew points. They spent most of the day in the mid-and upper 60s in Washington, and may have started to suggest some of the necessary humid ingredients of a typical summer day here. And based on published maps, high above the city the faraway fires in Canada, apparently spread a thin canopy of smoke.

Johns Hopkins promises to pay to clean massive diesel fuel spill in Baltimore harbor
Many of the large pools of diesel fuel, noticeable by its distinct red color from dye, have been removed from Baltimore's harbor two days after a 2,000-gallon spill. It is a testament to the quick response after Johns Hopkins Hospital's emergency generators were overfilled, leaking into storm drains and funneling into the Harbor Wednesday. "I was really worried when I woke up this morning about what I was going to find when kayaking around the harbor. I was pleasantly surprised and impressed that areas where there were impacts yesterday have since been cleaned up," said the Waterfront Partnership's Adam Lindquist. He not only extensively observed conditions from the water on Friday but also was instrumental in the creation of the turtle habitat in the canal along Lancaster Street, where much of the fuel was collected. It is one of the only stretches of natural shoreline left here. "Wildlife have really made that a sanctuary to the point where we know there are hundreds of turtles living in that canal, as well as the ducks and the geese and the fish. We are at this moment less concerned about how that spill is going to affect the larger harbor and really starting to focus our attention on how we're going to restore and clean up the canal, which is the focused area of this spill," Lindquist told WJZ. Fells Point safeguards A WJZ drone captured protective barriers in Fells Point, placed there in case fuel runoff flows that way. "With the rain coming through this weekend, I think that's a big question mark. How much fuel is still left in the stormwater pipes? Is it going to keep coming out of that one outfall, or could it spread to other outfalls? Right now, there has not been any spread to other outfalls, but we just don't know what's going to happen when it's raining, so we'll all be keeping an eye on that," Lindquist explained. Fire Chief James Wallace promised, "Should the situation change, we're able to react to it very quickly." Oil spill investigation Officials say the investigation into the spill from Hopkins' generators will start once the cleanup has ended. Johns Hopkins tells WJZ they are "working closely with federal, state, and local authorities, and we are focused first and foremost on the health and safety of the community and on environmental cleanup." They also promised to pay for damages. "This is our home, and we are fully committed to funding the cleanup and remediation efforts in the Inner Harbor, including any impacts to local wildlife. While we are concentrating on the cleanup effort, we are also closely reviewing the situation to understand what happened," the statement said.
