Crescent moon and Venus over the African American History Museum. (Jim Havard) TODAY’S DAILY DIGIT
A somewhat subjective rating of the day’s weather, on a scale of zero to 10. 6/10: With a Friday bonus point, fairly gray and in the 60s to near 70 is meh. Perhaps a couple of raindrops, too? EXPRESS FORECAST Today: Mainly cloudy. Isolated shower possible. Highs: Mid-60s to about 70.
Tonight: Light showers possible, especially late. Lows: Upper 50s to mid-60s.
Tomorrow: Cloudy with showers. Slightly breezy. Highs: Mid-to-upper 60s.
Sunday: Turning sunny. Perhaps very breezy. Highs: Low-to-mid 60s. FORECAST IN DETAIL We are all watching Matthew severely affect the Southeast, with likely little to no impact on our region directly. However, we do have indirect effects, such as clouds and showers, to deal with until a cold front can clear us out — hopefully, Sunday — paving the way to a pleasant Columbus Day. Today (Friday): Reinforced clouds likely dominate as air off of the Bay and Atlantic continues to wedge eastward into our region. A northeasterly 5-10 mph fetch of steady wind blows, thanks to New England high pressure combining with indirect funneling from Matthew — well to our south. Isolated light showers, especially later in the afternoon, are slightly (20 percent) possible. High temperatures likely hover in the 60s, but a few spots could get to around 70 with a peek of sunshine. Confidence: Medium Tonight: Shower chances do slowly increase — around 40 percent especially by late night — as an approaching cold front tries to tap into Matthew moisture a bit. Breezes out of the east around 5 mph keep us socked in with clouds. Low temperatures may hover only in the upper 50s to perhaps mid-60s downtown. Confidence: Medium |
