Today is the sixth straight rain-free day in the DC area, and that streak will probably grow to nine before showers return on Sunday. Then another dry stretch is possible — bad news for the region's drought.
Even Sunday's rain may not amount to much. The front passing through is not particularly strong, and models project only about 0.01 to 0.1 inches of rainfall.
The predicted rainfall from a blend of computer models over the next nine days shows a pronounced rain hole over the DC area.
Once Sunday's front exits, high pressure builds back in, and rain chances may not return until sometime between June 14 and 18.
