“After more than 18 years at The Washington Post, Capital Weather will formally announce its return to independence – and the official launch of its website capitalweather.com, newsletter, and mobile app – on Tuesday June 9.
Capital Weather began as a local weather blog in 2004, before partnering with The Washington Post and becoming the Capital Weather Gang in 2008. Led by a team of meteorologists, journalists, and communicators, Capital Weather is one of the nation’s largest regional weather communities.
The new independent platforms feature:
Capital Weather’s detailed DC-area forecast, updated throughout the day
Live updates, alerts, and weather and climate insights
Expanded newsletters
Interactive weather and climate tools
A new mobile app for iOS and Android that combines forecasts and updates from Capital Weather meteorologists with the convenience and functionality of modern weather tools
A community-centered approach built around reader engagement
The Capital Weather team is committed to providing free access to essential 24/7 DC‑area weather coverage.”
