Fall-like weather arrives as remnants of Tropical Depression Sally move through DC area

It might be time to dust off that light jacket, as the remains of Tropical Depression Sally move through the D.C. area, bringing in a cold front.

The rain that soaked south of Interstate 66 in Virginia and areas of Maryland along Interstate 95 Thursday night is expected to taper off Friday as the front moves in.

A slow moving cold front will push through the area Friday, setting off some early morning showers, mainly over the southern suburbs, Storm Team4 Mike Stinneford said.

The weekend will be dry and cool.

“Temperatures will fall fairly quickly Friday evening with strong Canadian high pressure building in for the weekend,” Storm Team4 meteorologist Matt Ritter said.

It will stay cool Monday, preparing the area for the fall equinox at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday.



Forecast

  • Friday: Showers near D.C. and moderate rain in the far southern suburbs and Southern Maryland in the morning, ending during the early afternoon. Otherwise cloudy and breezy. Highs in the upper 60s to low 70s.
  • Saturday: Mostly sunny. Breezy, cooler and much less humid. Highs in the low to mid 60s.
  • Sunday: Mostly sunny. Not as breezy. Still unseasonably cool. Highs in the mid to upper 60s.

Kennedy Center renews call for Trump-backed shutdown after part of a ceiling collapses

WASHINGTON (AP) — A chunk of ceiling fell inside a main hallway of the Kennedy Center, according to a spokesperson who said the damage underscores the need to shut down the historic arts venue for renovations sought by President Donald Trump. No one was injured when a piece of the ceiling inside the Kennedy Center's grand foyer collapsed Friday evening, said Roma Daravi, the center's vice president for public relations. Photos provided by the center showed a large hole in the high ceiling and debris littering the red carpet in part of the hallway that connects the Kennedy Center's three main performance auditoriums. The damage occurred during stormy weather in Washington. The Kennedy Center's Trump-aligned board is fighting in court to move forward with plans to add Trump's name to the building's facade and to close the center for two years as it undergoes $250 million in renovations.
