about this forecast despite the fact that the season begins tomorrow. live look outside, sun shining on the capitol dome. the days are of course a lot shorter in late september compared to late july so that makes it a little bit more comfortable when you have high temperatures in the mid to upper 80's. that's a beautiful shot right there and we'll rinse and repeat this weather literally for the next seven days. fall begins tomorrow, not going to feel like it. much more like august with sunshine and high temperatures well into the 80's really like i said through wednesday. even thursday of next week. so we stay dry and warm here. still watching both josé, which is stuck and maria but right now as of today, it looks like the tropical effects for us here in the washington area will be minimal. maybe some clouds, possibly some showers. we actually might have a better chance of showers along a cold front next thursday. it just doesn't look like much for us. now, but in can change. we'll continue to watch maria's track very closely and how maria interacts with josé next week. 83 in annapolis.

5:45 pm
versus all sunshine but that being said, it will be a nice warm afternoon, temperatures well into the 80's and, yeah, not a normal september 22nd i guess. 69 degrees the overnight low here in washington. it's mild and we are making up for that cool weather we had in late august, early september. high temperatures tomorrow well above normal. this is about 10 degrees -- almost 10 degrees above normal, 85 here in washington. and the weekend itself, this is more like a beach weekend forecast, 87 tomorrow. sunday 88. although i wouldn't advice going to the beaches 'cause there's still a lot of high rip currents as you get out into the delaware, maryland and new jersey beaches. anyways, beautiful, hot and sunny for the weekend. the seven day shows that weather continues and so, into next week if we start to see some effects from what's left of josé or maria, that would probably be in the wednesday time frame but right now it just looks like a few more clouds. that chance of showers on thursday is along a cold front so we'll wait and see what those two tropical systems and we'll have an update on that at 6 o'clock. marina and jim
