Category 4 Typhoon Usagi and Tropical Storm Man-yi are next on the list of storms expected to strike the region.

Many spots get below freezing tonight. Chilly tomorrow despite sunshine.

The first storm is already pounding the region.

It reached the upper 70s in D.C. today, which was good enough for another record high. A passing cold front is bringing an end to the warmth.

More than 50 million residents of the urban corridor are within the red flag warning.

Finally, a legitimate shot at an end to the streak without rain, which is now at 37 days and counting. First, a seasonable Saturday.

It’s feeling more like November this weekend. Some rain might even fall.

North winds behind a cold front will help drive comfortable temperatures into the area through tomorrow.

Temperatures today made the low 80s locally, which is about as warm as it gets this late in the year.

The record temperature was more than 20 degrees above average, more like what D.C. would experience in early September, amid an abnormally warm and dry stretch.

It’ll be even warmer Wednesday, as high temperature records are expected across the region.

But rounds of heavy rain and severe weather over the past week indicate the peak of drought conditions is passing.

D.C.’s record rainless streak of 34 days from 2007 was tied on Tuesday. There’s only a very slight chance of rain Wednesday, but odds go up Thursday.

Warmer air is surging back in for the next several days. Tuesday kicks it off with ideal voting conditions.

Climate change helps explains why the storms and floods were so extreme. But questions have emerged about whether communication failures contributed to the toll.

Highs of 60 to 65 might feel a bit cool this weekend. It’s pretty close to average for the start of November.

See a magnificent kaleidoscope of reds, yellows and oranges.

After three days of highs near or above 80, it’s 60s this weekend. Cooler air takes over tonight.

Weather for the final run up to Election Day should be more cooperative than not.

The storm, said to be the largest typhoon to hit Taiwan in 30 years, caused damage even before making landfall.
