PM Update: Still Quite Pleasant for July
Yet again, more nice weather on Friday
* El Nino & Hurricanes | Local Farms Adjust to Weather Challenges *
Summer weather can often be a "broken record" in these parts. Fortunately this year it's not a hot and muggy string of songs thus far. Some increase in clouds this afternoon has not sullied the day as highs top out in the low 80s most spots, still below normal, and still free of big-time humidity. Clouds may spit out a shower or two through evening, especially south and west of the area, but most spots should stay dry.
Through Tonight: Outside a very lonely shower, afternoon and evening cloudiness should break overnight leaving us partly to mostly clear by morning. Temperatures fall from the mid-70s near sunset to between 60 and 65 for lows.
Tomorrow (Friday): We should warm up just a bit to end the work week, but otherwise it's status-quo weather. Look for at least partly sunny skies during the day with afternoon highs reaching the low 80s.

Arctic Sea Ice: A new NASA satellite survey shows that Arctic sea ice thinned dramatically between winter 2004 and winter 2008. The joint analytical effort between NASA and the University of Washington represents the most comprehensive survey to date using ICESat. Measurements show that overall sea ice thinned on average 7 inches per year and a total of 2.2 feet over the period. Comparison images can be found on NASA.gov.

I have to say I've been enjoying the cool and non-humid weather.
However, one possible downside is I haven't enjoyed any swimming holes yet this year.

This cool weather is wonderful. It occurs half of the time over decades.
If it was very hot, legions would be foolishly attributing it to global warming!
A high temp. of 67 today, 20 degrees below normal.

Tomorrow night at the Elks Lodge: OK. No weather issues.
My problem involves Saturday night @ Glen Echo. I need to be outside catching a bus/Metro from my place to Dunn Loring between 6 PM and 7:30 PM and am mighty unhappy about that lightning forecast for Saturday evening. Wish there's a way to KNOCK those thunderstorms OUT of the Sat. PM forecast! Maybe chanting Nam Myoho Renge Kyo might work.

This cool and non-humid weather is awful.
