As Washington D.C. wakes up to a light drizzle and the remnants of morning fog, the city braces itself for a wet start to the day. With humidity hovering at 93% and visibility limited to two miles, residents are reaching for their umbrellas and jackets, forearmed by the detailed forecast provided by the National Weather Service (NWS). The temperatures sit at a mild 53°F, though the slight northern breeze might make it feel a touch cooler on the skin.
The NWS, in their latest update, has anticipated the rain to abate mostly before 7 am, showing promise for those hoping to step out without facing the dreariness of a downpour. The high is expected to reach near 57 today, with a north wind gently rolling at 3 to 7 mph. The chance of precipitation stands firm at 90%, though the new precipitation amounts to quite less than a tenth of an inch, which should make for soft and short-lived showers according to NWS.
Tonight, those scattered clouds are predicted to disperse, leaving behind a partly cloudy sky with a low near 38. The wind, turning coy, decides to still itself, leaving a calm touch to the evening. For Sunday, the forecast nods to mostly sunny weather, a high near 59, and an amiable southwest breeze picking up at 5 to 7 mph in the afternoon.
As the week unfolds, the weather beckons with its own ebb and flow. Monday claims the sun for itself, boasting sunny skies and a high nearing 56. By contrast, Tuesday teases with the possibility of rain after 1 pm and mostly cloudy skies hinting at a 40% chance of precipitation. The following days oscillate with chances of rain, particularly before Wednesday at 1 pm, and mostly cloudy nights, potentially impacting early Thanksgiving plans. Nonetheless, the holiday itself is slated to be a crisp affair, with mostly sunny skies and a high near 52, offering an interlude of clarity amid an otherwise fickle week as stated by the NWS.
