The high for today will be 87 at 4 p.m. with a real feel of 91. Because the humidity will be lower it will actually feel cooler than noon temperature.

At 8 p.m. the temperature will fall to 79 and by midnight will dip to 71.

Overnight temperatures will be in the high to mid 60’s. Wake up to 66 at 6 a.m. on Saturday.

PSA:

Remember to get your water and sewer bill paid by the end of this month to avoid late fees and possible disconnection.

EVENTS:

Colonial Beach Oyster Gardening Event

Tuesday July 30 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Potomac River Fisheries Commission located at 222 Taylor Street in Colonial Beach Va.

Oysters are the Chesapeake Bay’s best natural filters. They also provide essential habitat for fish and other Bay creatures. Unfortunately today’s oyster population is a small fraction of what it used to be. The Chesapeake Bay Foundation’s Oyster Gardening Program gives citizens an opportunity to help bring back this vital species by growing oysters alongside their docks or at a provided public location. Once grown, the adult oysters are returned to the Chesapeake Bay Foundation for planting on sanctuary reefs.

Registration required. Visit our webpage: cbf.org/vaoystergardening to register!
