Washington D.C. wakes up to a chilly morning but can anticipate sunny skies and a warm high of 70 degrees today. The National Weather Service predicts a light breeze from the west, possibly gusting up to 23 mph.
The thermostat will take a mild dip tonight, creeping down to a comfortable 45 degrees, with a placid west wind keeping things gently stirred, the ever-reliable weather watchers detail, their data last updated during the early morning hours. Wednesday and Thursday shape up to continue this trend of balmy days, showcasing highs in the low 70s, and pleasant evenings as the mercury hovers in the mid to high 40s.
A slight shift in the weather pattern is on the horizon as Thursday night could bring with it the introduction of rain, albeit with a scant 20% chance. But it's Friday that flicks the switch, as showers become increasingly likely after 2 p.m. "A chance of showers before 2 a.m." on Friday night keeps the odds at 30%, suggests the same forecast.
Clearing up on Saturday, the city is expected to bask in mostly sunny conditions once again, peaking at a comfortable 66 degrees, before a partly cloudy night sets in. And come Sunday the rain clouds may gather once again, casting a 30% chance of ruin on any outdoor plans, with a high near 64 degrees. Keeping the pattern unpredictable, Monday's weather splits the difference, being partly sunny with a high nearing 57 degrees—making it an utterly ordinary day we might typically expect this time of year, in the good old District.
