The latest weather update from the National Weather Service in Washington D.C. details what many residents may consider a rather pleasant turn in the week's forecasts, with today being heralded by mostly sunny skies and expectations of a high near 70 degrees. Winds are set to blow from the west at 6 to 13 mph, though gusts could reach as high as 24 mph if the breezes grow boisterous. Tonight, the sky should remain obstinately clear, cradling a low around 50 degrees, with northwest winds calming to a gentle 3 to 7 mph whisper, as per the National Weather Services release.
Sunday's forecast promises an encore of mostly sunny weather, the mercury rising slightly higher to a near 73 degrees, the northwest winds now a modest companion, breezing at 5 to 8 mph; however, as night descends, so may showers, starting mainly after 2 am with the clouds assembling a front, the low forecasted around 54 degrees and the chance of precipitation stepping up to 30%. Memorial Day itself is not to be outdone, offering a potential drizzle before 8 am but later clearing to yet more sun and a high reaching toward 74—north winds keeping a light touch at 3 to 5 mph, keeping the day's chance of rain at a familiar 30%.
As the new week commences, a predictable pattern emerges with partly cloudy skies on Monday night, the accompanying low once again near 54 degrees. Temporally moving along, Tuesday seems inclined to mimic its predecessor with the possibility of showers after 2pm. Mostly cloudy conditions will prevail, and a high temperature hovering around 70 degrees—the chance of precipitation at a cautious 40%. Come Tuesday night, showers appear more convinced of their attendance, favoring the late hours after 8pm, the night's low nearing 58 degrees, the chance of precipitation a more assertive 70%.
The midweek shows no signs of relenting, as Wednesday threatens with outright showers and a high around 67 degrees, the chance of precipitation dominantly asserting itself at 80%, if Wednesday night keeps the trend with showers likely mainly before 2 am, mostly cloudy skies, and a low around 62—precipitation odds tallied at 60%. The chance of showers seems to be a theme that extends through Thursday and into Friday; although, the sun seems partial to a cameo amid the clouds, with a high potentially spiking up to 77 and 79 degrees on respective days, with each day's rain possibilities steadfast at 40%.
