Up Next: Friday is looking significantly messier as that stalled front picks up some atmospheric energy, leading to a much higher coverage of rain and storms throughout the day. Because of the clouds and precipitation, temperatures are going to struggle to move, likely hovering in the 60s from morning to night. The real trouble starts late in the afternoon when widespread rain takes over, which will likely make the trek home a slow crawl. We’re expecting a soggy Friday night with steady rain dumping several inches across the Capital Area. By the time things finally taper off early Saturday, most spots will have picked up a solid 2-4" of rain, though some localized areas could see totals climb above the 4" mark.

The system moving through on Friday night is speeding up, which is great news for your weekend plans. While you might run into a stray light shower on Saturday morning, the rest of the day should stay dry and feel much crisper, with afternoon highs only reaching the low 70s. Sunday is shaping up to be a beautiful finish to the weekend, starting off chilly in the upper 40s before warming up to the mid-70s under mostly clear skies. That sunny stretch is expected to hold firm well into next week, with a steady warming trend bringing temperatures back up day by day.
