The threat of rain will again hang over Montgomery and Prince George's counties this week, according to the National Weather Service.
It’s good for the garden, at least:
Monday: There’s a 20 percent chance isolated showers in the afternoon with a high temperature in the mid-90s. Skies will clear and temperatures will drop to the mid-70s.
Tuesday: Sunny and hot with temperatures in the mid-to-high 90s. Temperatures will drop to the mid-70s Tuesday night.
Wednesday: There’s a 50 percent chance of thunderstorms in the late afternoon, but before that, expect sunny skies and temperatures in the mid-90s. More rain expected Wednesday night, when temperatures drop to the low 70s.
Thursday: There’s a 40 percent chance of rain again Thursday, and temperatures should be cooler, reaching the high 80s. Thursday night temperatures will drop to the high 60s.
Friday: No rain in the forecast Friday, just sunny skies and a high temperature in the mid-80s. Friday night temperatures drop to the high 60s.
and, in my opinion, is a valid figure. My profession is regulation of the electric companies (as well as other energy providers) and Iserve as an expert witness in court cases with energy companies so I do know someting about this matter.
