Expect plenty of sunshine today and comfortable humidity levels with a high near 90. Great weather for the Existian Music Festival, happening from 12-9pm in NW DC. Thanks DCist, for the tip.
Sunday will be very similar to today, with sunshine and temperatures near 90. A good day to check out the Scottish Games at Episcopal High School in Alexandria, VA.

Tropical storm Franklin continues to meander northward just north of the Bahamas. It looks like the front which is dropping our humidity will steer him a bit to the east away from the land. I don't think Franklin will threaten the U.S. and I don't think he'll ever get any stronger than a Category 1 hurricane, if that. Nonetheless, there's still some uncertainty about his ultimate track. We'll keep youp posted.
The National Hurricane Center is now monitoring a wave over the Yucatan that it expects will emerge in the southwestern Gulf and quite possibly develop into a depression. If it becomes a tropical storm, its name will be Gert.
