Hope everyone had a good weekend and that you aren’t dragging too much this morning. Looking like a drag of a day today as showers and storms are likely across the region today. Wet weather looks to linger into early Tuesday in western PA while the DC Region sees wet weather potential carry throughout the day. Wednesday will clear out allowing for partly cloudy to mostly sunny skies. Western PA will see highs in the mid to upper 70s before low to mid 70s roll in on Tuesday. Mid 50s to low 60s will press in on Wednesday. Lows will dip into the low to mid 60s tonight before low to mid 40s move in on Tuesday night and upper 30s to mid 40s track in on Wednesday night. The DC Region’s highs will rise into the upper 80s to low 90s today before mid 80s settle in on Tuesday and low to mid 70s press in on Wednesday. Lows will dip into the upper 60s to low 70s tonight before upper 50s to low 60s move in on Tuesday night and mid to upper 50s shuffle in on Wednesday night. Hope you all have a magnificent Monday (if that’s possible). Take care folks!
