Livin' the dream...

[Capital Weather @capitalweather]

Official today: Capital Weather is independent once again.

Twenty-two years after launching Capital Weather as an independent weather website for the DC area — and 18 years after first partnering with The Washington Post and becoming the Capital Weather Gang — we are independent again.

Today, we’re officially launching a new chapter at https://t.co/r3dKxepf5m and on our new mobile app. We are committed to making our core forecasts and updates free and accessible to everyone. Your support will make this possible.

Here is what we’ve built and how you can support us.

What we’ve built:

☀️ Around-the-clock forecasts and live updates
📧 Expanded newsletters
📱 A new Capital Weather app
🌦️ Interactive weather and climate tools
💬 A stronger community experience
🎙️ We will continue to provide forecasts on WAMU 88.5

How you can boost and sustain our independent launch:

• Support our work at https://t.co/jh1PQK6W7Q
• Download the Capital Weather app on iOS or Android
• Make Capital Weather your everyday weather source
• Share this post with friends and family across the DMV

Some of you have already joined our community and we could not be more grateful.

Since pioneering digital local weather coverage in 2004, we’ve believed weather is something we all experience together. Your questions, storm reports, photos, and conversations have helped shape Capital Weather into one of the nation’s leading regional weather communities.

Our mission remains the same as always: to be the most trusted everyday source for DC-area weather forecasts, breaking updates, and in-depth weather and climate news.

From sunny days to stormy days — and from Snowmageddon (2010) to Snowcrete (2026) — it’s been an incredible ride.

Thank you for being part of this community. We’re incredibly excited for what’s ahead.

My DC take is that union station should have 50 separate fast food joints, one for each of the states. ie; California : In N Out, Texas : Whataburger, North Carolina: Cookout, and so on.

[Dave Wasserman @Redistrict]

I've seen enough: Democrats win control of the Virginia House of Delegates, flipping the GOP majority and giving them control of both chambers.

[Brendan Gaffney @bgaffney49]

One of the best. You will be missed.

[Red Sox @RedSox]

Our hearts are broken with the loss of Tim Wakefield.

Wake embodied true goodness; a devoted husband, father, and teammate, beloved broadcaster, and the ultimate community leader. He gave so much to the game and all of Red Sox Nation.

Our deepest love and thoughts are with Stacy, Trevor, Brianna, and the Wakefield family.

[Chef José Andrés 🕊️🥘🍳 @chefjoseandres]

The millions of Americans who visit the nation’s capital every year know the truth. They can see it as they walk the streets, visit our museums, and eat at our restaurants. Washington DC is a beautiful city that needs nobody to defend its good name from ignorant smears.

[Scientific American @sciam]

Scientific American has never endorsed a presidential candidate in our 175-year history—until now.

The 2020 election is literally a matter of life and death. We urge you to vote for health, science and Joe Biden for President.
