WEDNESDAY  MAY 10, 2017  5:54 A.M.

Skies are mostly cloudy early on Wednesday morning and temperatures range from the upper 40s in the Clifton area to the upper 30s further inland. Winds are mainly calm.

Weak high pressure will be in control of our area weather today through Friday with dry conditions and seasonably cool temperatures.

A strong low pressure is expected to develop off the Virginia coast late Friday night and slowly move up the coast. This will cause rain to spread over the area on Saturday and become heavy at times before tapering off Sunday afternoon; we should average around 1-3 inches of rainfall.

Showers may persist into Monday followed by a warming trend and mainly rainfree most of the rest of next week.
