Rainy Week

looking at the latest models, it appears that we are going to have a major rain event this weekend. It could be a long duration event that gives us much needed 2-4 inches. As I said last week, i believe this coming week will be the rainiest week in a long time. We are in desperate need of it. It will also cool down as the week progresses too but we have a few more warm days to deal with.

Dont forget about tomorrows rain too....we could get about an inch from that. This is an important week for the region.

Major Changes....Again

Well the cool didnt last long as we quickly got back into much above normal temps after a 4 day stretch of normal to below normal weather.

Look at these temps the past few days at IAD. Keep in Mind the average temp for this time period is about 67

Wed=82 15 above normal
Tues=77 10 above normal
Mon=75 8 above normal

The above average temps will continue tor a few more days especially in the wake of a storm heading towards the midwest that might give us a chance for severe weather and and a little possible rain.

But its next week, where we could see some more serious changes in forms of a big rain maker and much colder temps.

I am going on record that next week will be the rainiest week we have seen since winter and its going to get chilly as we head into the last days of October and into November.

There is a a chance that November actually ends up being a cold month after many many days of above normal weather.

Looks like a miss

Looks like a big storm may brew this weekend but the surface low is going to form too far north to get DC in the ball game. The major effects of this storm will be in New England...especially Northern New England unless something changes. I will keep you updated.

Cooldown yes
big Rainstorm--not likely

MAJOR CHANGES ON THE WAY

Folks,

No need to rehash the obvious. Its hot and summer has been endless. It dosent rain and the weather has been the same since June pretty much. But Major Changes are coming as soon as Wednesday when a strong cold front rolls through and changes the pattern. By this weekend, we could be looking at a potential Major Noreaster with Heavy Rains and high winds and temps about 30-40 degrees cooler than what they were on Sunday. Stay tuned. Rain Amounts could be termendous if this panned out. We could see some rain mid week as the cold front comes through but it wont be much and nothing compared to the potential of the weekend.

Absurd heat but major relief coming

this weekend and the first part of next week is going to feature some absurd October heat but a pattern change is coming at least temporarily and a trough will be over the east by next weekend sending us to below normal to normal for about a week.

We have to get through the heat first.

Same old Sh.......

More warm coming. As long as the trough is in the west, we are going to be getting doused with warmth and it some cases record warmth. It looks like the October 4-8 period will again give us unusually warm weather.

Definite cool down possible as we approach Mid October but Mild will rule until then
