       What fantastic weather for Veterans Day! Agree? Only a few clouds and breezes with temperatures beautifully average for this time of year around 60 degrees. We cool down a bit tomorrow, but the afternoon should still be pretty swell.

       Through Tonight: A slight increase is possible in cloud cover and northeasterly breeze levels, especially after midnight, but nothing too bad. Low temperatures in the 30s look likely throughout the region. Perhaps near 40 in the warmest spots downtown and near larger bodies of water; but, around the 32-degree freezing mark away from town.

       Tomorrow (Sunday): Any morning clouds and northeasterly breezes around 15 mph should clear and calm a bit during the afternoon. A quick, stray shower is possible. High temperatures swing back below-average in the cooler upper 40s to mid-50s. Overnight we should stay mostly clear, with breezes perhaps fully calming near dawn. This clear, calm scenario often allows us to get chilly along with wide-ranging temperatures in the region — possibly upper 20s to mid-30s.

       Rain deficit and drought briefing

       With only a few readers reporting decent rainfall amounts from yesterday’s rain, I thought it prudent to give us some context on where we stand with shorter-term rainfall deficits and longer-term drought conditions. Over the last two weeks, we continue to not keep up with rainfall. We’re still behind in the dark yellow shaded areas by 1 to 2 inches of rain over the last 14 days.

       On the one-to-four (being worst) drought scale, D2 “Severe Drought” has grown into D3 “Extreme Drought” in parts of the Blue Ridge Mountains. As highlighted in yesterday’s PM Update, the two blazes in the Appalachians well southwest of D.C. are potentially going to regain some flare-up capability with long-term drought remaining persistent in the region. We don’t have high rain chances in the forecast until perhaps the end of next week.
