Friday was wet and warm and filled with warnings
On Friday, as May neared its close, the District went through its warmest day in almost two weeks, and its wettest day since Thursday. In the evening, warnings of possible tornadoes abounded in the region, but it did not seem that any touched down.
It was particularly windy or gusty in spots, however, and it was thunderstorm winds that were blamed in a report to the National Weather Service of trees that toppled onto the Capital Beltway in the Four Corners area of Montgomery County, temporarily blocking three of four lanes.

Dry Start to June, Temperatures May Reach 90s This Week
Welcome to June, Maryland! It was a cool start to the month with morning temperatures in the 40s and 50s. Sunshine helps warm temperatures into the 70s for Sunday afternoon. The day will be on the breezy side, with wind gusts possibly reaching 30 mph. If you notice a different look to the sky today, that might be due to wildfire smoke coming out of Canada. It looks like the smoke stays high in the sky for today and into Monday, not impacting our air quality. The First Alert Weather team will keep an eye on the smoke forecast as the wildfires continue to burn for our neighbors to the north. We have a *chance* to maybe see the Northern Lights late Sunday and early Monday. A Severe geomagnetic storm alert has been issued by the Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC). Early on Sunday morning, SWPC confirmed that a severe geomagnetic storm had been observed. When that level is reached, there is a higher chance that the aurora could be seen farther south and possibly into Maryland. Warmer air continues to filter in toward the middle of the week. We'll eventually return to the 80s and even reach the 90s before week's end. What about rain? After ending May with above-normal precipitation, we're starting June in a dry stretch. The next chance of rain holds off until later this week into the weekend. Don't forget the SPF and have a great day!

NEW YORK, June 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The path to college can feel overwhelming, for students and families alike. From choosing the right school to navigating financial aid, planning for higher education requires more than academic ambition; it requires access, preparation, and support. That's why Mediaplanet is proud to launch the College Preparedness & Affordability campaign, a national awareness initiative aimed at helping students confidently transition to college life with the resources and guidance they need to thrive.

By bringing together insights from educators, experts, and real student voices, the College Preparedness & Affordability campaign equips families with the tools to plan ahead, ask the right questions, and make informed decisions that support long-term success and well-being. Featuring an exclusive interview with cover star Yara Shahidi, the campaign is anchored by voices that resonate with today's students. The actress, producer, and recent Harvard graduate reflects on her own academic journey, sharing how she balanced her creative career with coursework, navigated her evolving passions, and stayed grounded through the demands of college life.
