🌅 Did you catch tonight’s sunset? Enough breaks in the clouds near the horizon let sunlight burst through — painting Imelda’s overcast skies in shades of orange and red.

A magnificent shot from Jim Havard shown here.

Great for outdoor plans, bad for drought: Rain prospects look bleak for the foreseeable future.

After the chance of a few showers today (Monday) into early Tuesday, rain chances in the DC area are slim for almost 2 weeks according to most models. Pictured below, the European AI model predicts less than 0.1 inches of rain through Saturday Oct. 11, and most of that paltry amount is from any light showers that we see from the fringe of Tropical Storm Imelda today into Tuesday morning.

The lack of rain will likely exacerbate already worsening drought conditions in western parts of the region, and could bring on drought conditions elsewhere.

Quite the satellite image today (Monday)! Imelda gaining strength over the Bahamas while Humberto lurks to its east. Some of the outflow from Imelda is hooking up with a front along the East Coast, drawing clouds thru DC and as far north as Massachusetts.

When does this all scoot away? Details at CWG.live

"Is this the best time of year for sunsets? ," asked CWG reader Maureen Harrington Sunday evening. We have great sunrises and sunsets in all seasons... but September has been on a roll for sure!!!

Here's one of Maureen's photos from Sunday's sunset (top). And, for good measure, we'll add in one from Jeanne Stuart McVey of this morning's sunrise (bottom)...which was also tremendous.

The outflow from Tropical Storm Imelda has made these spectacles extra special.

🌪️ Wow — take a look at these stunning views of Hurricane Humberto when it peaked as a Category 5 on Saturday (now down to Cat 4).

📸 The first image: inside the eye, captured by astronaut Jonny Kim aboard the International Space Station. (Note, we brightened the original image so you can better see the details and structure)

🛰️ The second: a breathtaking wide view from the GOES-19 satellite.

👉 And here’s some good news: Humberto’s strength and position are helping tug Tropical Storm Imelda farther east, which should limit its impact along the East Coast.

Less rain than expected Saturday! Generally just a trace to 0.5" fell (forecasts were for more).

How much did you get?

While this weekend is turning out nicer than expected, we could use more rain & now it seems Imelda won't give us much either.

😎 It's a darn nice Sunday once we clear out any morning clouds. So nice that we're going 8/10 for the daily digit, though it is somewhat humid.

📉 Rain chances this week have trended lower, but aren't completely off the table
