A sunny start today will lead to increasing clouds by the afternoon and evening, and temperatures will be near average with highs in the mid 70s. Periodic rain showers are in the works over the next several days as a cold front stalls near the D.C. area and upper-level energy aids the development of rain. Basically, there are daily rain chances Wednesday through Sunday. It won't be a washout, but spotty areas of rain will develop from time to time due to the unsettled weather pattern that's taking shape.
