Some forecast, huh? Looks like the week ahead will be marked by a series of high-pressure systems, followed by cold fronts and rain. Temperatures will slide above the normals for this time of year and stay there, with highs in the mid-40s to near 50 degrees.

We start today with high pressure and sunshine that may push readings to 50 degrees in some spots. Things will cloud up tomorrow, and rain chances begin to climb in the afternoon and become "likely" overnight into Wednesday. After the cold front pushes through Wednesday, we'll see clear skies again Wednesday night into Thursday as more high pressure builds in.

Friday brings yet another rain system and a cold front that will clear the decks for a nice, sunny weekend.

The predicted clouds and rain on Wednesday and Friday will, if the forecasters got it right, wash out our chances to watch the International Space Station fly over Maryland. We'll keep an eye on the forecast in case things clear out in time. Our best shot may be Wednesday evening, provided the day's rain clouds clear off before 7 p.m.

Wednesday's flyover is not the best of the week. That would be Friday's. But Wednesday may be our best chance to see anything at all of the ISS amid the clouds and rain. I'll post the details when the weather prospects become a bit clearer.
