The National Weather Service in Washington D.C. has issued a detailed forecast for the coming week, with a nuanced mix of clear skies and storm potential hovering over the city. Today, Washingtonians can expect mostly sunny weather with highs potentially touching the 92-degree mark, ushering in a lightly warm atmosphere with a gentle variance in wind direction, according to National Weather Service.
Things are set to take a turn later in the night, after 2am, isolated showers and sporadic thunderstorms could break the tranquility of the night—the chance of precipitation is a mere 20%. Moving into Monday, the likelihood of showers and thunderstorms climbs steeply to 70%, primarily post-2pm, and the day's high will tilt downwards to about 86 degrees according to the National Weather Service; new rainfall could aggregate between three quarters and one full inch.
The National Weather Service forecast for Tuesday through Thursday suggests a reiteration of this pattern: periods of sun giving way to increasing chances of showers and thunderstorms as the day progresses, with temperatures fluctuating between the high 80s and low 90s. Tuesday night sees a 50% chance of precipitation, while Wednesday and Thursday have a 70% chance during the day, dropping to 60% at night.
As the week closes into the weekend, the sogginess seems reluctant to loose its grip on the city with the potential of showers and thunderstorms looming both on Friday and into the night however, come Saturday the sky clears, bestowing upon the city a mostly sunny visage with highs aiming for the 91-degree mark, our residents looking to the heavens with a wary eye, a hopeful heart, that the forecast sunshine will indeed be faithfully delivered.
