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 likely be an occasional shower and possible strong-to-severe thunderstorm later today into early tonight, any of which can produce some heavy rainfall. 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).
