Warm and Dry continues this week

I really need to work on my summer forecasting because Ive been consistently 1-3 degrees cooler than the actual forecast numbers. It was a steamy weekend as temps soared to 92 at IAD on Saturday which shattered the record for that day. The high on Sunday was 89 and on Monday was 86 so I did okay there. The rain we got was a joke as IAD had .10 for the entire weekend and National got .30.

There is still no rain in our future for at least another week but i see some changes that could get us into a cooler and wetter pattern as the mean trough appears that it will shift east by the first week of June. But for this week, it looks to be very warm especially mid week and dry.

Here is an interesting feature shown by the European model...a tropical storm nearly hitting the east coast but being pushed out to sea at the last minute. Something to keep an eye on
