Discussion
The remains of Tropical Storm Cindy will interact with a slow-moving frontal system and produce some heavy rainfall around here late tonight and early Saturday. Before that tropical moisture arrives, there will be occasional rain today; primarily, focused on the morning hours, and maybe a thunderstorm later today. Most of the rainfall should move out of here by tomorrow afternoon and the weekend will close out rather nicely late Saturday and Sunday. One final note, NASA/Wallops will try again early tomorrow night with its sounding rocket launch that should produce colorful artificial clouds visible in DC (look southeast), Philly and NYC (look south-to-southeast).
