8/16 DC/MD/VA Weather Outlook

Much needed rain is on the way! Expect showers and isolated thunderstorms today. Rain may be heavy at times in some locations! Nice few days on tap after the rain today in the north, southern areas may still deal with more rain tomorrow. Temps will be somewhat warm again this weekend, but another cool down after that! Canada is starting to cool down and that cooler Polar origin air will pass the border next week!

Summary:  Rainy chances today and in the south tomorrow with temps struggling into the low 80s! We need the rain! After the rain chances in the south tomorrow, we will have some warmer weather this weekend and then another chance of cooler weather next week. The signs are starting to appear that fall is on our horizon. Next week a very cool air mass will spill into the Midwest and then the northeast! It is just a matter of time now!

Tropics: Irene is out to sea and the remnants of Tropical Depression 10 show signs of regeneration. He may become Jose in the next few days!

Site News: The website should slowly take on a new organization. I want to make a fresh start on the look and feel and will be doing so in order to gear up for winter. Expect changes to being in the next few weeks as I start working on the design. Also, I hope the email alerts and warnings software will come soon as well as plugins for Earthquakes and UV (though that is not as important now). The new forum is buzzing with activity and I strongly recommend you checking it out!
