Friday Showers

Some thunderstorms last night, but most rain totals were less than 1/4 of an inch. We're dealing with cooler temperatures and a few showers this Friday afternoon and if the trend for lighter showers holds, then we should be OK for Saturday's games.

A Nice Weekend ahead

Well, it's Thursday and I still feel pretty good about the weekend forecast. I'm expecting showers and thundestorms from Thursday afternoon into Friday morning.

The only unknown is how much rain will axctually fall on the fields and how much will be left by Saturday morning.

As for Saturday, lower humidity levels and highs in the low 80s will be a great way to finish the month of June.

Better by The Weekend

We're looking at varying degrees of heat and humidity through Friday before a nicer air mass moves in for this weekend.

There will be a threat of showers and storms, especially by late Thursday into Friday as the next cold front approaches. As is the case in these scenraios, we have to worry about how much thunderstorm activity will occur on Friday and what that impace will be for Saturday morning.

Our Fortunes are Looking Better

My last post was pretty optimistic for this Saturday, and this Thursday morning I'm feeling even more confident that we're in for a wonderful Saturday.

A cold front moves through tonight and stalls in northern North Carolina and southern Virginia. These areas will see scattered shower activity over the next couple of days, but we will be far enough north of the front that I anticipate a very pleasant and sunny saturday with highs in the lower 80s. See you on the field!

June 23rd Forecast

What a beautiful Wednesday it was. Not too warm and the humidity really dropped off. I had a nice BBQ dinner on the deck. As I sat down enjoyong the pleasantness of the evening and my food that was the first for my new grill, I got to thinking how damn hot and humid Washington can be for the next 2 to 3 months.

With that being said, the next few days look decent with highs in the 80s to possible lower 90s over the weekend and rain chances stay on the low side. That's not to sy we won't see a shower or two by Saturday, but the overall pattern is a nice one. Enjoy it while it's still around....

Heat on The Way!

Look for highs in the 90s today and Tuesday before we see some mid-week cooling. But, if you think we'll see temps stay down in the 80s for the weekend, think again. We should be back up in that 90 degree neighborhood for Saturday with partly to mostly sunny skies.

I'll have the sunscreen ane the extra ice water with me this wekend.

Still Positive

On Tuesday I mentioned that I expected our unsettled mid-week weather to leave us and that we would be in good shape for Saturday's games. I'm happy to say that my thinking has not changed and that I still expect a nice day with highs getting into the low and possibly mid 80s.

A Positive Outlook

Weather will be unsettled through mid-week, but after that we begin a drying out and warming trend.

Today and Wednesday should see a decent coverage of thunderstorms. A big area of LOW pressure in the north Atlantic is throwing a little energy back at us and that will aid and abet the development of mainly afternoon and evening thunderstorms.

The good news here is that this storm is expected to pull away toward the weekend and that will allow warmer readings to move. By Saturday, we'll be in the low to mid 80s with just a slight chance of a shower. Sunday and Monday will see highs approaching and then exceeding the 90 degree mark.

So, at this time (11:15AM Tuesday), I'm expecting a decent day for games on the 16th with highs into the 80s.

Some storms on Friday and Friday night

I hate it when we have a chcnce of thunderstorms on Friday. Why can't we have a no-brainer going into the weekend.? Anyway, the heat today, highs well into the 90s will be gone by tomorrow. But the cold front that will bring relief for the weekend, could also bring a thunderstorm or two through tonight.

I'd say that we have a 40% chance of some rain at the fields, so watch Doppler 9000 and if need be, get your butts to the field a little early for some groundskeeping.

Mid-Week Update

Wednesday morning and some cooler air is now blowing in from the north. It ill be gone rather quickly as we warm into the 80s on Thursday and 90s on Friday.

A cold front on Friday night could touch off a shower or thunderstorm and that's about the only thing to be concerned about. Earlier in the week it looked like the heat would hold through the weekend, but this front will come through and that means highs will only be in the mid 80s and not 90s on Saturday.

June 9th looks Hot

A damp start to the week but a ridge of high pressure will build and by Friday, I expect highs to be at or over the 90 degree mark. Friday through the weekend will feature the heat and humidity and a chance for an afternoon or evening thunderstorm. Typical July weather.

Late Thunder

It finally poured at my house about 11 PM on Friday night. The worst possible time. Looing at radar and rain totals, it appeared that the far northern part of the county was hit but not southern Montgomery. You might want to get out a little early this morning just to be safe.

No Storms Around on Friday

We can't buy a drop lately and today was no exception. The storms were in the mountains and north in Pennsylvania. Have fun and remember to stay cool and wear the sunscreen.
