Nice for August

Now


Comfortably warm: For the first time in about 2 weeks, Washington metro area afternoon temperatures are several degrees below average in the mid 80s after an official low of 68°. Although a few locations have crept past 60°, most dewpoints are in the very comfortable 50s. Regional radar is dry in all directions.

Tonight and Tomorrow


More humid, chance of showers: Humidity and clouds will be increasing overnight as the cold front which came through early yesterday tries to return from the southwest as a warm front. Lows will be in the low 70s in town, a few degrees cooler in the 'burbs. There is a chance of showers or thunderstorms tomorrow morning, especially to the south of the immediate area, but a better chance (40%) in the afternoon; highs will be in the low to mid 80s, depending on the amount of sunshine.

Tropical Topics


The National Hurricane Center is still watching a low pressure area which is now approaching the Lesser Antilles. A reconnaissance flight this afternoon found no closed circulation at the surface, but conditions look favorable for development of a tropical depression in the next day or so.
