Monday was cloudy and a bit cooler in the afternoon due to persistent cloudiness most of the day but milder in the early AM hours with clouds and showers just to my south over much of Virginia with lows in the upper 40s rising only into the low 60s by mid afternoon. Winds calmed down further, shifting around to a southerly diection from the previous days’ persistent NW flow.

Partly Cloudy, milder, dry conditions on Tuesday with highs moving from the 50s into the low 70s.

Cooling showers and possible thundershowers should visit us on Wednesday, with highs cooling back down into the 60s and lows down into the 30s in the overnight,
then more cool 50s and 30s on Thursday. Friday will moderate some on Friday before cooling showers return once again on Saturday.
