We should get some breaks in the clouds over the next hour or so.. maybe a quick jump in temps as showers pass.

Good read! Thanks!
I have one major issue with weather modification though. Who would get to decide what the weather will be like for a certain area? I can see how this could have major downfalls...

Jim, I think the warm front sort of got "hung up" near us for a while rather than moving north towards the Mason-Dixon line as predicted, hence the higher rainfall here at noontime.

A partly sunny afternoon warmed the temperature at Reagan National to 68 at 5 p.m.
