The official forecast from Sterling made it look like mid-week would be gray and rainy. A weak cool front from the north was to push through, lower temperatures, cloud up the sky and bring showers.

Well, the front moved through alright. The temperature here at Calvert & Centre dropped from 84 degrees yesterday afternoon to 60 degrees by sunrise today. And we've only crept up to 69 degrees so far this afternoon.

But the morning remained very sunny. If you left your car closed up, it was July-hot by the time you returned this morning, thanks to the solar heating.

Forecasters insist there's rain on the way. The cool front, which slid to our south overnight, will be creeping north again as a warm front this time. THAT should bring us some showers. And then we'll begin to feel the effects of a real cold front approaching from the west - the same one that's been causing a lot of violent weather to our southwest. Here's AccuWeather's take on it.

The good news is it should all move through by Friday, leaving the door open for a fine weekend.
