Our region is chock-full of spotted lanternflies. National Weather Service radar is detecting them yet again today. Stomp them!

Fall has moved in early! We’re declaring summer officially over in D.C. — the earliest we’ve ever made the call. Near 80 by day, 50s–60s at night, and no heat waves in sight. 👉 www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2025...

Some folks caught a great rainbow on the back end of storms that passed through DC. Here's one shared with us by @statter911.bsky.social. Forecast updated at cwg.live.

Mainly clear and minimal weather worry for trick-or-treating. 🎃 👻 Main issue is a gusty wind. It'll make seasonably cool readings feel about 5-10 chillier than the actual temperature. Might need a layer to go with the costume. Details at cwg.live.

Significant flooding in Annapolis and Fells Point due to the persistent onshore winds from the storm that passed through the region Wed night-Thu morning. Map shows coastal flood warnings and advisories that remain in effect. More info & flooding pics at cwg.live

DECENT RAIN-- FINALLY! After less than 1" of rain over the last 40 days, DC area picked up 1-2" since Wednesday night. (A few lingering showers could fall thru midday, but it's mostly over) This will help lessen the drought a bit. Details at cwg.live

8a: Downpours with thunder and even some lightning sweeping into Beltway area from south. Allow extra time for commuting and take it slow. Updates at CWG.live

A taste of spring in late October! Strengthening low pressure to our west Thursday may deliver strong or severe storms in the morning through early afternoon. Gusty winds 💨 main threat, but a tornado 🌪️ also possible. Details at cwg.live.

Minor to moderate flooding is forecast Wednesday afternoon into early Friday along the Mid-Atlantic coast from VA to NJ, and along the shores of the Chesapeake Bay and Potomac River, due to an extended period of sometimes gusty onshore winds. More info: cwg.live

DC has seen less than 1 inch of rain in the last 40+ days. We're on track to get 1-2 inches of rain in the next 24 hours -- most of it tonight and tomorrow morning. More info at cwg.live

The latest on Melissa: Pulling away from eastern Cuba after striking as Cat 4, now a Cat 2. Next headed toward southeastern Bahamas (later today) and Bermuda on Thursday. www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2025...

Good morning, we should salvage some of today in the DC area, but cloudy and cool as scattered showers increase this afternoon. Much-needed rain ramps up this evening, heavy at times overnight into the morning with thunder possible. The rain is long gone by Halloween 🎃🦇 Full forecast: cwg.live

Cloudy tonight with a passing shower possible. Rain chances increase Wednesday and will turn heavier at night into first half of Thursday. Maybe some thunder? Details at cwg.live Photo of cause of rumbles today. Blue Angles over DC by John Sonderman.
