Local Weather Outlook
Notice
Yes, you aren't dreaming after all: after all the video production, Teens Talk work, science research, and Internet problems of this summer, the WIDEnet is back! As you might imagine, I've been busy: chiefly with this video I produced for one of my clients, a local nonprofit youth campaign, Goals for Justice. Please check it out, it is less than two minutes long and I did put some work into it. Be sure to view it fullscreen at 480p, the original I have is higher-quality than Youtube supports but you'll just have to use your imagination on that.
In other news, I've also been working on some new WIDEnet upgrades, I'm already (mostly) done with our central About.Me site, and I have a Google Profile, a Linkedin site, new branded items (think business cards, pens, stickers, and possibly even shirts), and Google/Bing/Yahoo business listings on the way. I also am considering a move to (yet another) new service provider for the WIDEnet email system, MailChimp, but I want to evaluate it first and will let you all know what develops on these. In the meantime, please check out our Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, and Web sites for the latest information and updates. Now, for the weather:
Synopsis
The upcoming week looks quite a bit wetter than most we've had over the summer, even precipitating (no pun intended--honest!) the chance for heavy rain and flash flooding. A weather system fueled by tropical moisture from the remnants of TS ISAAC will continue to move through over the next two days, and although we should get a break Thursday and perhaps Friday, another batch of soggy weather is already lining up to sock us in for the weekend and perhaps beyond, with another accompanying heavy rain risk. Looks like a raincoat and boots will be the new standard in back to school wear...however, it should at least help ease the moderate drought conditions across the region, so all your fashion sacrifices will hopefully not be in vain.
Day-By-Day Forecast
Tuesday: Band of heavy rain and embedded thunderstorms currently to our SSE will push through the DC metro throughout the day, with precipitation particularly intense in the afternoon. Expect rainfall amounts of around 0.5 inches, although it will be more of the hard-and-fast as opposed to the slow-and-steady variety, so some areas might receive less, while others may see a flash flood threat develop, especially into the late afternoon. Meanwhile, temps hang out in the mid-80s with the heavy cloudcover.
Wednesday: Water will battle with earth in a virtual rematch of their conflict Tuesday, with similar precipitation amounts and patterns, a similar flash flood risk, and similar temperatures, mid-80s. However, we should see the two sides start to slowly disengage by the end of the day, although the aftermath could still be visible Thursday morning.
Thursday: A relatively quite day compared to its neighbors, Thursday will see warmer, drier air and clearing skies establish themselves in the region, and although the NWS thinks we might see a popup shower or storm, I doubt we'll see anything https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#drafts/1398f6a11bad79d2of consequence. Temps around 90 degrees.
Friday: Although the official forecast still maintains we'll see no precipitation, I'm expecting at least a few sprinkles before nightfall, as an area of low pressure slowly lumbers toward us from the west. Otherwise, temperatures will remain in mid-80s amid increasingly cloudy skies.
Saturday-Monday: The weather system mentioned Friday will rumble through over the weekend and linger perhaps into the following week, with clouds, storms, and heavy rain all in the picture. Temperatures, however, will be around average for this time of year, in the low-80s.
Extended Forecast: The aforementioned low pressure system should clear out by the beginning to middle of the week, with mixed indicators pointing to roughly average temperature and precipitation patterns thereafter. Translation: nothing special, just more of the usual--the one thing that you havn't come to expect from DC's weather lately.
Tropical/Severe Weather Outlook
TS LESLIE is churning well off the coast to the ESE of Florida, but does not look to present a threat to the US, with the exception of high waves and surf along the coast. LESLIE's track does look somewhat uncertain, however, so I'll keep an eye on it. Severe weather potential looks minimal through the next five days, though we could see a few thunderstorms with heavy rain.
Anyways, I best be getting to bed for school tomorrow...it seems like only a week or two since I last said that. No rest for the weary, I fear...but this does mean more WIDEnet content in the weeks to come, so stay tuned. Oh, and have a look at the new sig if it doesn't glitch on your system. How will you know? If it looks bad, then it probably didn't survive the trip. Otherwise, enjoy!
