9/10/2023 – Quick update today! More rain is likely, and it has the chance to be locally heavy. Some areas are saturated, which could mean local flooding challenges. Because of this, the region is in the slight risk for flash flooding. Just as it has been, some areas may get a lot more rain that others. Some totals in the region for the last 7 days should be eye-opening! Western Loudoun has still had less than an inch! Southeastern Loudoun has had over 5 inches in parts and I am certain some have seen 6 to 8 inches!

Showers and some storms are possible today. I do not see any being severe as the atmosphere is much cooler and more stable.

After today we have a slight chance of showers and storms tomorrow, a better chance Tuesday, and likely chances Wednesday.

*** BEAUTIFUL WEEKEND ALERT FOR NEXT WEEKEND! ***
We will see if the forecast holds, but sunny skies and 70s for highs seems possible.

* Today – Hi 79 Lo 67 – 60% chance of showers and a storm
* Monday – Hi 83 Lo 65 – 20% chance of a shower or storm
* Tuesday – Hi 84 Lo 67 – 40% chance of showers or a storm (60% at night)
* Wednesday – Hi 77 Lo 55 – 50% chance of showers and storms
* Thursday – Hi 75 Lo 50 – Sunny! (maybe some 40s at night)
* Friday – Hi 76 Lo 51 – Sunny and nice!
* Saturday – Hi 78 Lo 55 – Sunny and nice!

Attached:
* 6 to 10 temps look below normal (but dry!)
* Excessive Rain risk today (Slight)
* Rain totals for the last 7 days

9/7/2023 – Mid-day update!
Severe Risk is still around for today. The risk for showers and storms has come up to 70% due to the ongoing showers and storms to the west! We will have to see if that helps us.. I still have concerns for our backyards, but radar is at least giving me some hope.

It is still dreadfully hot with temps in the 90s and heat index temperatures up into the lower 100s again!

Drought update.. Things remain very bad! We are in a Severe Drought in western Loudoun and a drought area-wide. We will have a lot of opportunities for rain over the next week, and some models are showing between 1 and 3 inches possible. Let's hope that comes true. The regions in the drought have expanded. This really will mute the fall foliage this year, making me sad after last year's spectacular appearance!

More severe POSSIBLE tomorrow, and it is still rather hot with a high near 90!

Rain chances have really increased over the weekend! 70% Saturday and 80% Sunday! Temps will be in the 80s on Saturday and around 80 on Sunday!

Rain chances will continue now into next week, and temps will be in the upper 70s to low 80s!

More later as I watch radar and stay in touch with the Storm Prediction Center and the National Weather Service.

Stay weather-aware this afternoon.
