Despite some sun shining through in parts of the metro area, radar shows another batch of showers moving into the area as the lunch hour nears. Rain was originally expected to mostly hold off until the late afternoon or evening, but the reality is that radar suggests a chance of off-and-on showers throughout the day, especially north and west of DC, with a steadier and heavier rain still on track for tonight.

Highs in the mid-to-upper 40s today, to low 50s in southern portions of the metro area, will be followed by lows near 40 tonight. See Matt's post for the forecast through the weekend.
