Frances was mentioned for the first time in the forecast here- please read.
While many locations topped 90 degrees yesterday - Dulles hit 91 - Washington"s official recording station at Reagan National Airport again came up short. The high temperature there was officially 87. There will be another opportunity today to reach 90 as hot and humid conditions will continue. There is a slight chance of a late day thunderstorm, but the greater likelihood of showers will come tomorrow afternoon and evening. The approach of a frontal boundary is expected to set off showers tomorrow afternoon. Tropical Storm Gaston, now coming ashore in South Carolina, is expected to bring heavy rain to areas as close as the Virginia Tidewater. The Eastern shore and lower southern Maryland could also see significant rain from the storm. Our weather is expected to cool off by midweek with temperatures in the low 80s under mostly sunny skies. Hurricane Frances, a powerful Category 4 storm now in the eastern Atlantic, could threaten the southeastern US by Labor Day weekend
