As for rain chances, this shortwave dropping down late in the day Sat as the ridge retrogrades further SW looks to be the best chance.

Both the FV3 hi res and NAM nest are hinting at some decent convection developing, mostly for the eastern third of the region.

Low probability for now. Next chance would probably be Thursday of next week, although the GFS and ICON have some moisture for the higher terrain to the west and sw on Monday. 

Get ya sprinklers out.

There's a little bit of smoke aloft in the air. Just enough to give the sun and sky that smoky look that you've noticed but haven't posted about because it isn't obvious enough :P, unlike last September. 

The gust front moving through from ESE to WNW could have wind gusts up to 25mph.

Haven’t been paying attention for a while, because why, is this the back door cold front mentioned from earlier this week?

Its due to that high building to the SW on the NW side of that Atlantic low. Characterizing it as a back door front seems reasonable.

48 this morning.

Looks like one more day of low dews and pleasantly warm temps before the heat and humidity builds in for the weekend.

Front looks generally dry for late Sunday, then a cool Monday, before another bout of heat after that. Still no widespread rain in sight.

Mid 90s next week?

Euro and several of the GFS members really pumping the heat during the middle of next week. Could endanger the record highs for IAD. From this morning's LWX AFD:

Record highs and record warm lows late this week into early
next week. DCA, BWI and MRB records are probably out of reach,
but the IAD records could be matched.

12Z gfs goes for a washout Memorial Day weekend and almost 2” of rain. Been some guidance hints of things getting stormy around that period so worth watching. Of course that would rain out my sons baseball tournament, which isn’t ideal.

GFS gets some convection in here late Wed, the only "hot" day, with some ul energy coming in from the west as the ridge flattens/moves out. Gets very active beyond that.

Euro also looks more active towards next weekend, although not quite as wet as the GFS is suggesting.

Euro is broadly similar with two batches over Memorial weekend. One Friday into Saturday and one Monday. I’d like the rain and getting the baseball tournament in, which are probably mutually exclusive.
