The forecast from the National Weather Service is "cloudy" but as I write this there isn't a cloud in the sky. Some high clouds will eventually
stream in late this afternoon, but expect plenty of sunshine through the early afternoon. Temperatures are already above 40 and should climb close to 50 this afternoon. As always, look for the forecast for all of next week in tomorrow's update. For now, I'll sign off, leaving you with a photo of yesterday's sunset, by CapitalWeather.com photographer

Wait, There's MoreOn what appeared to be a slow weather news day, I found a couple noteworthy items:
- Today marks the 10 year anniversary of the Blizzard of '96. From the National Weather Service Sterling Forecast Discussion:
"WHAT A DIFFERENCE TEN YRS MAKES... I SLEPT ON THE FLOOR OF THIS OFFICE TEN YRS AGO TNGT DURG WHAT I'D SAY WAS THE BIGGEST SNOWSTORM OF MY LIFE. SUNDAY 1/7/96-1/8. JUST UNDER 2 FT IN DC...3-4 FT IN THE HIGHLANDS. ONE I'LL NVR FORGET.."
