Forecast: Another warm day but dry air is comfy

I am betting that most of us find today just dandy given the drier air mass. After this summer a 90-degree day just isn’t what it used to be.After a few thunderstorms skitter through Friday night, we are in for not 1, not 2 but 3, count them 3 days of highs only in the lower 80s and we will throw in lows in the 60s. However, some showers may put a damper on the cooler temps.

Forecast: Headline here, keep it short now

If nothing else, things are going to get a lot more active in the next couple of days thunderstorm-wise. By afternoon some strong thunderstorms are possible and then they get serious on Friday afternoon when the greatest threat for severe weather lies. A break in the heat and humidity arrives over the weekend.

D.C. area forecast: 90s through the weekend, thunderstorm chances increase Sunday

Sadly, this overachieving summer shows little sign of relenting yet. But at least it is low-to-mid 90s through the weekend rather than 100s. And humidity levels are tolerable. For those of you trying to keep your garden from parching, thunderstorm chances increase by late in the weekend.

Nationals vs. Phillies weather forecast: Plenty warm but only moderately humid

Heat from start to finish. Sounds like a good thing to hope for from our pitcher! You might want one of those little portable fans on this breezeless night.
