Today was the warmest weather we’ll see in at least a week. Cold fronts offer cooler conditions and a shower chance tomorrow.

Heavy downpours brought roughly 18 to 24 months’ worth of rain to a city that averages only a few inches of rain per year.

Any raindrops should be much more miss than hit. Highs are probably near 80 locally tomorrow.

Any storms should be less than severe, with not a lot of rain expected in most spots.

The worst of the storms has moved to the south of the area. There’s a small chance of one or two more this evening.

Temperatures are probably a bit below average today. After that, we’re warmer than typical through the coming work week.

It will be on the cool side to start the weekend. On Sunday, temperatures should rise well into the 70s.

Warm and relatively muggy conditions are likely, as well. Some thunderstorms may be strong tomorrow.

Overall, forecasts did a reasonably good job simulating the cloud cover — even up to about 10 days in advance.

Wednesday’s storms left a trail of damage and were blamed for at least one death, in Mississippi. Severe weather was sweeping toward the East Coast late Thursday.

Some strong storms could pass through the D.C. area after midnight. An isolated tornado cannot be ruled out.

It was a great day for an eclipse. Highs are near-80 locally tomorrow.

The solar eclipse is over. All we have left are the memories, and lots and lots of photos.

Best odds for a rumble are over western parts of the area. Warm again on Wednesday.

Highs remain well below average today. 60s tomorrow, and 70s next week.

Today was like yesterday, and Saturday will be quite like today. Warming up a bit by Sunday.

It’s chilly Wednesday night and partially sunny Thursday. We’ll stay under the influence of a dip in the jet stream the rest of the workweek.

Some icy precipitation fell on the area this afternoon, making it feel a bit wintry. It’ll stay cool to end the workweek.

It won’t rain all the time, but it can rain heavily at times. Much of the area sees another inch or more.

Some areas could see high winds and 1 to 3 feet of snow while power outages are mounting.
