Shoutout to @AlexanderRossi for being 16 @ St Pete. In his honor, and for the 3x fuel mishaps in the Indy 500, I made a $48 donation (rounded up) to counteract the harm done by his pals in the Trump Admin. See ya all season, bud. #favoritedriver#butyourpoliticssuck#IndyCar
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.
If he’s not contesting the 111th Indy 500, something has gone very, very wrong. Already renowned for his oval prowess, today should have cemented his shot. Someone needs to give this guy a ride. A decent ride. It’s a no brainer.
BREAKING
A federal judge has ordered the Kennedy Center to remove President Trump's name from the facade, website, letterhead, and official materials.
Congress named the Center by statute in 1964 - and the judge ruled only Congress can change it.
