The weather forecast on WUSA 9 is sponsored by Morgan and Morgan. With you, WUSA 9 meteorologist Topper Shutt. Thursday, new moon, October. This is a pretty interesting month, because the start is very nice, 75-58 degrees. However, it gets pretty chilly by Halloween, 64 -46. A fairly wet month, averaging over 3.5 inches of precipitation in both Dallas and downtown. The highest and lowest temperatures, i.e. extremes: record high of 98 and record low of 26. This is a fairly large temperature range. Of course, in October it's worth talking about snow. The earliest recorded snow was on the 5th in 1892, and on the 10th in 1979, 0.3 inches of snow fell, while New Jersey and Connecticut received 6 inches, and that storm brought snow as far
as Greensboro, North Carolina. So, let's see. So, what's the matter? Snow is possible and our longtime weather watcher Chase sent this in to remind us. This is October 29, 2011 in Luray, not in the metropolis itself, but in Luray, snow on fallen leaves . Quite interesting. We are getting drier. The heat index. sorry, the allergy index is going up. We expect high levels of mold spores again, but they should decrease during Thursday and Friday. Fortunately, grass and weed pollen levels will increase slightly as we begin to dry out. Trees should remain within the low range. The weekend won't be completely ruined by the rain. Actually, Saturday looks a little better, you can manage to get a lot of things done. Not a perfect day, but something can be done.
Highs are only 65-70 degrees. On Saturday, it will be mostly rain in the south. We mean south of I-66 and Highway 50. And on Sunday we have rain and showers at times throughout the day. Therefore, I advise you to take an umbrella for both days, and on Sunday-for sure. Also a light jacket as the temperature drops. It will be quite cool after the 80-degree heat on Thursday and Friday.

It may be a little cloudy at first, but then it will
clear up and be mostly sunny. In short, a beautiful day. Temperature around 80 degrees, light breeze. There is no humidity. So, at this time of year it can be warm, but without excessive humidity, which is quite pleasant. So early Thursday morning we will see some clouds in the sky. The temperature is about 15-17 degrees. It's already about 18 degrees closer to morning, and then look: 28 in Washington, Gaithersburg, Frederick, Geigerstown and Fredericksburg. The temperature is quite uniform. And this is in almost full sun. So if you want to grab a bite or dine al fresco on Thursday, it's a great day. And by the evening, I mean, it gets warm, but still comfortable. The wind is now from the southwest, but without
gusts. 84 in Geigerstown, mid-80s in Gaithersburg, just over 80 in Fredericksburg and Waldorf. And look at this: at 11 pm on Thursday, the weather is quite mild. More like the end of August or the beginning of September. Somewhere around 22 degrees. If you walk the dog, it's about 22 degrees everywhere. So, Friday is also a wonderful day. In the morning it's mostly 15-18 degrees, by mid- morning it's already 21, and it will be a little warmer on Friday. Highs 30-31 degrees, 30 in Geigerstown, 29 in Fredericksburg. And pay attention: it's almost pure sun now. A cold front will approach on Friday. So, it's 6:00 PM.
Isolated light precipitation is possible. I wouldn't worry about it. I think school football will go well. But pay attention to these showers in the mountains, which are gradually crossing the watershed. Some of them may reach parts of the metropolis on Friday night. The temperature is still mild. That is, 23 degrees at 11 pm. And then it will rain on Saturday morning. South of Washington, understood? In the north it is dry. It's dry in Gaithersburg. Apparently even in Rockville, although maybe not, but from Gettysburg to Frederick and Leesburg it's mostly dry. And all of this is shifting south, to southern Maryland. Especially in Calvert and St. Mary's counties. And then it's just cloudy. In fact, there
will even be lunchtime light shows in Geigerstown and Frederick. So the further north or west you are on Saturday, the better the day will be. And if you're north of Washington, it'll probably stay dry. Saturday evening will be cloudy, but without precipitation. The temperature is about 21 degrees, not bad at all. Let's talk about Saturday afternoon, rain is possible in the south. And then we'll get a break, and it's already Sunday. So, on Sunday we are expecting light rain, mainly in the south and east, the forecast has just been updated, and by 4 o'clock-bang, showers and rain all over the city. With temperatures around 15-20 degrees, it will likely be a weather warning day. So let's enjoy
Thursday and Friday: 86 degrees on Thursday, under 90 on Friday. There will be rain on Saturday, but mostly in the south. We can barely get close to the 70 degree mark. And then rain and showers on Sunday, but Monday will be great, and then the coldest air of the season will arrive, with a high of just 64 degrees on Tuesday. Nighttime temperatures are 40-49 degrees, and Tuesday night in the suburbs could be around 35-39. And on Wednesday it will be nice, but the high will only be around 70 degrees.
