CWG Live updates: Warmer and more humid today; breeze from Hurricane Erin tomorrow

Welcome to updated around-the-clock by Capital Weather Gang meteorologists. Happening now: Mostly cloudy and muggier this morning, then partly sunny this afternoon with highs around 80 to 85. Much of the day is probably dry, but an isolated shower or storm is possible. What's next? Somewhat breezy tomorrow as Hurricane Erin passes by off the coast. Sunny and delightful Friday and Saturday, then shower and storm chances return Sunday. Today's daily digit — 6/10: Some sun and highs back into the 80s feel more like summer for those who want that, though we could live without the increased humidity. |🤚Your call? The digit is a somewhat subjective rating of the day's weather, on a 0-to-10 scale. Forecast in detail Today (Wednesday): Mostly cloudy morning skies should turn partly sunny this afternoon. An occasional isolated shower is possible, maybe a few isolated late-afternoon showers or thunderstorms. Warmer highs reach around 80 to 85, and it's rather humid with dew points near 70. Light winds are from the east and southeast at 5 to 10 mph. Confidence: Medium-High Tonight: A few isolated showers or thunderstorms are possible during the evening. Mostly cloudy and muggy through the evening and overnight with lows in the upper 60s to low 70s. Confidence: Medium-High Tomorrow (Thursday): Skies remain partly to mostly cloudy and winds pick up as Hurricane Erin passes by off the coast. Winds come from the northeast around 10 to 20 mph. Gusts could be near 30 mph, especially east of D.C. Just an isolated light shower is possible with highs in the mid-70s to low 80s and moderate humidity. Confidence: Medium-High Tomorrow night: Skies at least partially clear Thursday night with decreasing wind. Drier air helps cool lows to the low to mid-60s. Confidence: Medium-High A look ahead Plan on a delightful Friday and Saturday with plenty of sunshine and lighter winds. Highs head for the low to mid-80s both days. The humidity is super low and comfortable Friday when dew points should be in the 50s, perhaps a touch more humid Saturday. Friday night and Saturday night lows drop back to the 60s. Confidence: Medium-High Sunday trends a touch warmer and more humid. Should get to the mid-80s with increasing clouds and rising shower and storm chances during the afternoon into evening. Confidence: Low-Medium Today's daily digit — 6/10: Some sun and highs back into the 80s feel more like summer for those who want that, though we could live without the increased humidity. |🤚Your call?

Confidence: Low-Medium BETHANY BEACH, Delaware — Hurricane Erin will pass well offshore the Mid-Atlantic but close enough to generate strong winds and dangerous seas and surf for Virginia, Maryland and Delaware beaches, particularly Wednesday and Thursday. Conditions may remain perilous into the weekend — upending plans for scores of local residents who may typically be vacationing in the area — and many beaches are already closed for swimming. The National Weather Service is warning that both Erin and a zone of high pressure north of the storm will funnel wind and water into the coast, generating multiple hazards that include life-threatening rip currents, waves over eight feet, periods of tidal flooding and beach erosion. High winds — with gusts exceeding 35 mph — are also possible. Tropical storm watches are in effect for coastal waters from Virginia Beach to Fenwick Island, Delaware, including Ocean City, Maryland. The winds will probably be strongest late Wednesday into Thursday. The Weather Service is forecasting peak waves of 6 to 10 feet along the Delaware beaches and 8 to 12 feet for the Maryland and Virginia beaches, with wave heights peaking late Wednesday into Thursday. As the water piles up along the coasts, areas of at least minor to moderate coastal flooding are likely to develop — especially near high tide Wednesday and Thursday.
