For the 2nd time in 3 months, the DC area finished a month below average in terms of temperature. So after a long string of warm months, we have reversed the trend somewhat in that category. But the cool weather pattern is coming to an end I believe. We will have one last cool shot for a while as we end the first week of May, but then after that....Look out. Some serious SUMMERTIME Heat will be headed our way towards the end of next week. As a matter of fact, Some of the data has a decent possibility of our first 90 degree day towards the end of next week. I dont see any important rains for us in the near future. We could have a shower or something tonight but most of the important rain will end up being a bit south of us. And next week, its really going to get dry as we start warming up. I will make an update if I see any severe weather threat but its not in the offering right now.

The Map below shows an impressive 500mb setup for warmth towards the end of next week with a trough in the west and a ridge in the East
