The low is expected to spread rainfall into Virginia and possibly the lower Eastern Shore by tomorrow evening while the rest of the state likely remains dry. Highs will be in the mid 70s.

The low will continue moving northeastward late tomorrow and this weekend, spreading scattered showers into the rest of the state tomorrow night through Sunday.

Right now, it looks like the bulk of the rain will remain to our south but showers will be possible both days. It will be breezy, with highs in the low 70s on Saturday and mid 70s on Sunday.

Additionally, the easterly flow from the low and the high will cause minor coastal flooding, rough surf and beach erosion along the coastline.

The low will move away from the area by Monday with high pressure and dry conditions returning for the first half of the work week.
