The edge of the area of rain moving up the East Coast has shifted just enough to the east that areas along and west of I-95 may not see much today. The much better chance of showers will be in Southern Maryland and across the Bay into the Delmarva. While a lot of the immediate D.C. area won't see rain, it will be cloudy and cool with high temperatures mostly in the low 50s.
A somewhat subjective rating of the day's weather, on a scale of 0 to 10.
3/10: Mother Nature is holding a grudge, the cool showers are hard to budge.
Today is a raw late-March day, but sun and milder temperatures return tomorrow. Lest you think the rains today mean a dry weekend, think again. Clouds and some more showers may buzz through Saturday. The rain may break for Easter Sunday.
Today (Thursday): Showers remain most active in the morning before tapering off in the afternoon; our western areas may say little or no rain as this storm's moisture cuts off not far west of Interstate 95. Temperatures struggle to rise with brisk north winds compounding the discomfort. Highs are no better than upper 40s to lower 50s. Confidence: Medium-High
Tonight: Showers should be gone by early evening, and clouds pull out of the area. Winds from the northwest are still gusty. Overnight lows chill to the mid- to upper 30s. Confidence: Medium-High

Tomorrow (Friday): Sunshine holds all day, but northwest winds gusting to 30-plus mph hold highs in the mid- to upper 50s. So don't forget the jacket on your way out. Confidence: High
Tomorrow night: Winds gradually calm, and under clear skies, lows drop to the mid- to upper 30s. Early-risers can glimpse the moon and bright star Antares side by side. Confidence: Medium-High
Clouds are on the increase Saturday morning, and a smattering of showers looks like a decent bet in the afternoon. Highs range from the mid-50s to lower 60s. Overnight is partly cloudy, with lows ranging through the 40s. Confidence: Medium
Sunday should offer some improvement with partly cloudy skies, and highs in the mid- to upper 60s. Winds are likely to be a little brisk, so hold tight to your Easter bonnet! Expect clouds to increase overnight, and pre-dawn showers are possible. Lows hold in the low to mid-40s. Confidence: Medium
Showers are likely to linger through much of Monday. Amounts look light for now despite the persistence. Highs are mainly in the mid- to upper 50s. Confidence: Medium
