April showers, sunshine, more showers
It's April as it should be, as the poets tell it, all sunshine and showers, birdies and flowers.
The forecast out of Sterling this morning calls for showers this afternoon as a small disturbance drifts past us along a stalled frontal boundary. But 
they won't get us very wet - just a few hundredths of an inch - and they won't last long.
Skies should start to clear overnight, with mostly sunny skies by Wednesday morning and through Thursday. Temperatures should be about right for April, too, in the low 60s Wednesday, climbing to the 70s on Thursday. It may even be a bit warm for this time of year in Baltimore, except near the bay, where a bay breeze will keep things chillier.
But then the showers return for Friday afternoon with the arrival of another low-pressure center. The weekend looks cooler again, with gradually clearing skies and temperatures seasonable again, in the 60s.

This has nothing to do with the spring showers, but can you tell us the next time the International Space Station will be visible over Baltimore? The last time I saw it, it was traveling with the shuttle and it was very exciting to see! Thanks.

FR: The ISS's orbit will keep sighting opportunities in the pre-dawn hours for the next week, and low to the horizon. I generally ignore these flybys because they are so inconvenient, and easily missed. If you still want to try, you can generate your own predictions at www.heavens-above.com
