(WSYM) - FOX47 News is helping inform you of the top local stories in your neighborhood. Happening Today helps neighbors know what is going on throughout the day.
Today's Weather Forecast
Following a cloudy day yesterday, our neighborhoods can expect sunshine throughout the day today. High temperatures are looking to cool back into the mid to upper 50's. This is still above average for this time of year as we should be in the lower 50's. We are tracking showers to return to our neighborhoods overnight Saturday into Sunday as well as Wednesday of next week. This rain is much needed as our neighborhoods have been experiencing drought conditions for quite some time now. Both overnight lows and daytime highs are expected to remain above average for the duration of the 7-Day.
