Cooler Weather The Rest of the Workweek

By Lee Carlaw On Wednesday, June 13, 2007 At 3:06 PM
Currently:
A few showers and thunderstorms are presently traversing areas south and west of the immediate DC metro area. An intense, severe thunderstorm currently over Herndon and Fairfax in Virginia produced nickel to quarter size hail in Reston, and will affect Manassas and Manassas Park within the next 30 minutes to an hour.

Regional forecast models do indicate the potential for the main line of severe storms (currently located in Central Pennsylvania) to propogate southward into central Maryland between 6 and 8 PM tonight. If this does ocurr, and the line maintains most of its intensity as forecast, areas from DC northward would likely experience a second wave of showers and thunderstorms before things die down with the loss of daytime heating.

Tomorrow through Friday:
Temperatures tomorrow should only rise into the lower 70s partly to mostly cloudy skies. Any precipitation appears unlikely at this point.

Low temperatures Thursday and Friday nights will range from 56 in northern areas of Maryland to 63 in places like Fredericksburg and central Virginia. Obviously, the air conditioner can get a brief rest before near to slightly above normal temperatures slide back into the region for the weekend.

Saturday and Sunday:
Under sunny skies, temperatures on Saturday and Sunday will rise into the mid and upper 80s across the Mid Atlantic, and we may even break 90 on Sunday as winds swing around to the southwest, funneling warm air into the area.

Large Earthquake Strikes off Guatemala:
According to CNN and the USGS, a large, 6.8 magnitude earthquake struck just off the coast of Guatemala at 3:30 PM Eastern Daylight Time. Due to the quake's depth, distance from land, and overall magnitude, damage will likely remain relatively minimal and aftershocks and tsunami are not a threat.
