Earl's Not Coming to DC. Are You Sad?

Hurricane Earl won't be affecting the District this weekend.  If you want a windy Labor Day weekend, if you enjoy storms, you'll have to go to the beach.  Oh, wait.  They're evacuating parts of the coast.  Never mind about that.

In place of Earl we'll be getting milder temperatures Saturday, Sunday and Monday -- in the neighborhood of the upper 70's to lower 80's.  Sunny and mostly clear skies, so wear sunscreen or you'll end up feeling like that burger you're grilling. 

Hurricane season is far from over and more storms are brewing in the Atlantic.  There's still a chance that we'll be adding "hurricane days" to the "snow days" we had this past winter and "power outage" days we had this summer.
