Hot weather streak continues into third week; rain and humidity for the weekend

While there’s a chance of rain for the end of this week and into the weekend, don’t expect relief from a two-week streak of 90-degree days.

Thursday was the 14th-consecutive day of 90 degrees or higher temperatures in the D.C. area.

Friday could break that streak, with more clouds around from Tropical Storm Fay.

“If we do hit 90 (Friday), based on my 10-day forecast, I think we could have a 24-day streak of 90 degrees or higher. This would be the longest on record in our area,” Storm Team4 meteorologist Amelia Draper said.

All of those temperatures are in line with July averages.

There could be more rain headed this weekend, as the tropical system churns northward from the Carolinas and parallels the Eastern Seaboard.

The greater chance for the area mostly comes Friday into Saturday. The coastal communities of eastern Maryland and Virginia are the most likely to get wet.

Thinking of going to the beach ahead of the weekend? It will be windy and rainy Friday with 2 to 4 inches of rain possible.
