A nice, cool 53*F to start the day. It should be sunny and high in the 80s. Sure would be nice to have that dang S right about now! Patience...patience... 
Have to drive up to Milwaukee for a funeral. One of the downsides of being "vintage". At least I'll see some faces I haven't seen in a while.

Beautiful today here in the Nation's Capital. Sunny and in the low 80s. The calm before the storm late Thurs. Projections still show it coming straight up the Chesapeake Bay right over us. Not a pretty picture.
Man did the back of the neck get cold this morning.

Hopefully the forecaster's are correct and the storm will weaken, Deb. If it stays as slow as it is there's a good chance the cooler water up your way will have a positive effect on the storm and it won't be as bad as it is now. Got my fingers crossed.

Well, I hope you are right...there is some concern that it will pick up some strength again when it hits the warm waters of the Gulf Stream. Projected storm surge of 20 ft up the Bay to the tidal Potomac, which ends right here in DC. Rainfall of 8-10 inches on top of a really wet spring/summer. I'm in a high-rise condo with my baby parked underneath in the garage, so am not too concerned for myself, assuming we don't blow away. More worried about my elderly parents and their house. I can see for miles into the distance across DC and MD, so will have a spectacular view of this event...if it doesn't scare the you-know-what out of me!!
