Clear sailing 'til Saturday
There may be a few lingering showers near the bay this morning, but for the most part the cool front has passed, and the air will be drying out before long. The forecast calls for sunny skies for the rest of the week, with the next chance for rain coming late on Saturday, with the approach of yet another "cold" front.
The beach forecast looks terrific.
Most of us got little rain out of yesterday evening's thunder and threatening skies. We recorded barely a hundredth of an inch here at Calvert & Centre streets. BWI saw less than a quarter-inch. Reagan National, in Washington, saw 0.1 inch. Dulles International got 0.04 inch. Salisbury did no better.
In fact, there's been little useful rain since June 3-4, when a bit more than 1.5 inches fell at BWI. We have 1.77 inches at BWI for June, less than a half-inch behind the average pace.
