If nothing else, we're going from temperature between 100 and 110 to upper 80s next week.

Supposed to 'break' here, DC suburbs, Monday. Rain/storms expected both tomorrow and Monday, and high Monday forecast @ 81.
102 here now.
HOPE we don't get destructive storms as we had Friday week.

DC hit its ALL-TIME HIGH RECORD of 105! http://www.washingtonpost.com/regional

and it's been great here since Tuesday, when it started. If it doesn't rain, we at least get cooling outflow winds when storms move over the valley and collapse. Clouds after 3 PM or so keep the sun hidden and the heat down a full 10 degrees from what it was.

I just hope it doesn't fizzle out again this year like it has for nearly all the past 20.
