[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.

Lost in the debate: Democrats have been totally screwed by Republican gerrymandering nationwide.

Republicans **currently** have a 16 seat gerrymandering advantage according to the non-partisan @BrennanCenter.

Gerrymandering handed the GOP majorities in the House in ‘22 and ‘24.

@NHL I need you to explain goaltender interference because it seems like it’s called with different guidelines against the @Canes tonight. Like I don’t understand.

[Courtney Howard @Lulamaybelle]

Ralph Fiennes reenacted the “very demure, very mindful” meme - and it’s the best thing to happen tonight, next to Anderson Cooper’s reaction.

[Carolina Hurricanes @Canes]

Happy Pride Night!

@elonmusk I should also mention that name calling also doesn’t make your point anymore credible and seems to be just a way to clicks/views instead of treating people with respect even when you disagree.

[Michael Cherry @mdcherry1]

@elonmusk But republican appointed judges are never activist? And republicans don’t use their power to hold or push through judicial standards? Seems like you’re calling for a double standard.

Going to college? Here's some advice:

1. Always go to class. Just being present will save you more times than you'll know.

2. Check your student email daily, and keep your notifications on so you don't miss potentially important announcements.

3. Familiarize yourself with your course's syllabus and your online page. Many of your questions are likely answered in these places.

4. Talk to your professors if you are ever confused or don't know the answer to something. They'll point you in the right direction.

5. It never hurts to ask for an assignment extension. Most instructors will give you that extra time, especially if you ask in advance.

6. If you have trouble with procrastination, be honest with yourself and designate blocks of time to do your work. Finding the right study location can also help.

7. If you can't make it to class for whatever reason, email your prof and let them know you won't be in class. You don't need to give them an entire essay explaining why, but a heads up is always nice.

8. Please spell your instructors' names correctly. It's literally right there on the syllabus.

9. If you're in a smaller class, try to say at least one thing during the discussion every day. Ask a question, share your two cents. Participation goes a long, long way.

10. Be understanding of others' differences. This is likely the first time in your life you're surrounded by this many people from this many different places. Not everybody grew up like you or has similar experiences. Embrace that fact, be open, and be kind. College is way more fun that way.

Feel free to add your own advice!

A 3rd pick for the best player on our team during the playoffs… seems like a poor deal even if we still had to find a lot of cap room.

[Carolina Hurricanes @Canes]

The #Canes have acquired a 2025 3rd round pick from the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for Jake Guentzel.

Missing James Earl Jones’ monologue from field of dreams but great montage.

Someone made a baseball movie montage and it honestly deserves an Oscar.

@Joel_K_Kramer Sad day. 😥

I would need to read the actual ordinance, but history and context would lead me to believe that this ordinance is only going to be enforced against homosexual people or content. This making it hard for me to ever live in this city and potentially other places in my home state.

[No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen @NoLieWithBTC]

A city in Tennessee has banned being gay in public.

Murfreesboro, Tennessee passed an ordinance claiming that “acts of” being “homosexual” is considered “sexual conduct” and may no longer be seen in public. The law is also now being used to ban books.

Hey, so, uh, given that a Republican member of Congress stood up in front of all his colleagues during this national crisis of not having a Speaker of the House--a constitutional officer and 2nd-in-line to the presidency--for three weeks now, and told a senior member of his party leadership that he needs to "get right with Jesus" because of his vote to protect marriage equality and they're all just gonna let this go and act like it didn't happen, can we please stop pretending that Republican lawmakers aren't hoping to ban same-sex marriage?

Loved participating in blitz day the one year we built a house during my time there!

[Our Tennessee @Our_Tennessee]

Since 1997, @UTKnoxville resident assistants have raised funds and built a house yearly or every other year for a total of 19 homes.

Had to put my @united seat arm together for my flight this morning. Definitely a first for me.

I love little Peyton Manning commercials like this. Also the olympics!

[NBC Olympics & Paralympics @NBCOlympics]

Peyton Manning has the perfect plan to kick off the 2024 Paris Olympic Games! 😅 https://t.co/QuLb89O80O

This makes my heart happy and jealous!

Did you ever eat a whole box of something in one session that you’re ashamed of, at least a little? I’ll go first: Little Debbie Nutty Bars.
