More of the same just not AS hot

Yesteday, IAD broke a record by hitting 93 which is unbelievable for this time of year. What is also unbelievable is the lack of rain we have had all summer. We may get a shower or two tonight but there is nothing in the modeling that gives us any hope for real rain anytime soon. Also, it appear that for this upcoming winter, we are going to have a La Nina which if it gets too strong might really ruin winter here for us. More in that later but dont panic..we still have some hope for a decent winter.

But again, it looks like today is the last really hot day we will have of the year as a cold front does come through tonight and take us back to near normal for the weekend. We are not going to see any below normal temps as long as the pattern is what it is. Trough in the west and a Ridge in the East. We will stay normal to above normal until the pattern shifts and again nothing rainwise for the next week
