FORECAST IN DETAIL

Flag Day sees the Stars and Stripes rippling today as breezes are brisk, but the real treat is that they are ushering in much drier air. Humidity only slowly creeps back Saturday, and highs in the 80s make for great pool/beach time. Sunday could start to get uncomfortable, but highs that surge well into the 90s Monday inflict real pain. Hopefully, the record of 97 degrees at Reagan National Airport will not be broken.
