Dry Stretch Record Today will likely be day 33 in a row with no measurable precipitation at National Airport...this ties us for number one on the all time list with the dry streak that ended on 9/08/1995. We may not break the record though...the atmosphere will have some juice on Thursday and there will be a few pieces of energy rotating around the main Low in the Upper Mid West...there should be some scattered showers. Our best chance for rain will be late Friday. This very dynamic system will finally begin to move East and it will take a strong surface cold front along with it. There will be another round of severe weather in the Plains Today and one on Thursday in the Ohio Valley in association with this system. The SPC has us "outlooked" for the possibility of severe weather at the end of the week as well: http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/
We will talk more about this on Thursday.  ¶ 8:49 AM
