We'll have a Blue Moon here Friday (August 31). There are several types of Blue Moons, but in Friday's case, it means this is a rare, second Full Moon within the month.
Blue Moons aren't actually blue (I know, I'm disappointed like you), but they are beautiful.
Fortunately, we'll have great Blue Moon-viewing weather here in Bethesda tomorrow. It will be sunny all day, with highs in the mid-90s, but a cool 10-15 MPH breeze.
Be watching the Moon at 9:48 AM - yes, AM - when the Full Blue Moon will be at its fullest!
Friday night, it will be mostly clear with lows in the 60s, and winds 5-10 MPH.
Count on Bethesda to find a way to celebrate the Blue Moon:

ISAAC UPDATE
Isaac is now a weakening Tropical Storm. It is still headed NW, and every minute it does that is an extra minute of good weather you'll have this weekend. Although it will disintegrate into a mass of clouds, it will still pack flooding potential by the time it reaches the DC area Sunday or Monday.
