PM Update: A couple of showers and storms into evening, then patchy fog overnight
Somewhat subdued temperatures Wednesday were offset by high humidity, which kept it feeling like July despite the lack of intense afternoon heat. Our soupy air mass promotes the chance for some hit-or-miss downpours into the evening. Storms should stay below severe limits, but they could produce dangerous lightning, some gusty winds and torrential rain for at least a short time. Our run of rainier weather should persist through Thursday.

Through tonight: Showers and storms probably will dot the area, especially the southern half, through sunset or a bit beyond. As skies remain mostly cloudy, temperatures should fall to the low and mid-70s. Winds should blow from the south and southwest around 5 mph. Some patchy fog will probably form in the usually susceptible spots. It could be more widespread if winds are light, especially where it rains.

Highs should mainly reach the mid- and upper 80s. Winds should blow from the southwest around 5 to 10 mph.

Summer simmer: We reached 31 days at or above 90 on Tuesday in Washington. Running nine days ahead of average to date, one more day at or above 90 will equal that observed all of last year. The odds that this year finishes above average for days at or above 90 degrees seem quite good. That annual average is 40 such days.
