CommuteCast: Partly Cloudy and Mild

Showers followed by cooler air Tuesday

Afternoon sunshine has allowed temperatures to reach the upper 40s to around 50 degrees across the area today. The evening commute will be partly cloudy and dry.

Tonight: After a partly clear start, clouds will begin to increase by late evening as a storm system moving in from the southwest starts to affect the region. Most of the night will be dry, but rain chances will increase towards sunrise. Lows will drop to the mid 30s in the suburbs and to around 40 in the District.

Tomorrow: Tuesday will bring a chance of showers throughout the day, but it will not be a washout. The best chances for rain will come in the early morning and then again in the afternoon as a storm system passes just to our northwest. High temperatures will reach the low 50s in most places prior to the arrival of a cold front late afternoon or early evening. This front will usher in cooler air for Tuesday night and Wednesday.
