[Scan-DC] Nice weather this weekend

Just as a note (unrelated to the discussion topic). I would strongly advise
against using those long range Accuweather forecasts! They are
predominantly computer generated with little if any human input. They are
generally based directly off of the GFS weather model and can vary wildly
from day to day (and therefore be incorrect). Although the National Weather
Service over at weather.gov does not go out as far, they tend to be far
more accurate. If you want an even better source, use the ZONE forecasts
from the NWS -

I never can understand why Inaccuweather keeps extending their forecast
range when us weather folk can't even get it right 5 days out sometimes.

Cheers!
