Hurricane Bill may have kicked off the 2009 storm season down south, but it looks like Tropical Storm Danny will be the first storm to pay us a little visit this year. The graphic above from the National Weather Service shows Danny making its way up the Atlantic coastline, bringing some wet weather to D.C. in just about two to three short days. If we're reading this correctly, there's only a 10-20% chance of Danny picking up enough speed to turn into a hurricane, according to this map, and D.C. will most likely feel only the outer edges of the storm, so we're not exactly looking at another Isabel. The Capital Weather Gang describes the storm predictions as pretty uncertain at this point, but notes that however strong it gets, the worst of it will likely stay offshore.
Nevertheless, we might have some stronger than normal winds this weekend, so check the ties on your tomato vines and get out that nice umbrella, not the cheapo one from CVS that turns inside-out whenever a bus drives by.

Ugh. . . more rain on the weekend after a beautiful week. Why, DC, why?
~EEE~
"Nevertheless, we might have some stronger than normal winds this weekend..." Did someone find out about my Friday night reservation at the all-new Chili & Cabbage Cafe?
"Danny isn't here right now, Mrs. Torrence."
Did you know, Mr. Torrance, that your son is attempting to bring an outside party into this situation? Did you know that?
RED RUM!! RED RUM!!
now make sure you go out the minute the winds and rain hits to get shit like toilet paper water and OK magazine
Thanks Heather, for thinking of our gardens! I always totally flake on minutia like that.
Actually the wind speed probabilities chart is the one to look at. It is more likely then not that it will reach Hurricane 1 strength on the period from Friday to Saturday, which will also be the time it is sitting off DelMarVa, we have a 7% cumulative chance of tropical storm strength winds in DC 6% on Fri night, and 1% additional on Sat morning, basically it's most likely gonna be a dinky hurricane and it will give us a shower and a breeze on Friday night, but we most likely will not get blown away.
Danny, meet Davy DCist. Davy DCist, meet Danny.
Welcome to D.C., college students! I think Saturday is when most area schools have their freshmen move in.
