The National Weather Service in Washington D.C. issued an update early this morning, painting a picture of the capital's weather that is set to see changes over the course of the coming week. According to their forecast, the overcast sky is giving way to sun with a high near 69 degrees today, followed by a calm and partly cloudy evening with temperatures dropping to around 50 degrees.
Washingtonians looking to make outdoor plans for tomorrow might have to do so cautiously—NWS predicts a 60% chance of rain, particularly in the morning. Winds are expected to remain gentle, shifting from a light variable to a southward flow of 5 to 8 mph. Meanwhile, come tomorrow night, the likelihood of showers could continue but significantly drops to a 40% chance before the stroke of 1 am.
Monday's forecast anticipates a brighter outlook, with mostly sunny skies and a high near 50 degrees. The wind, taking on the role of the day's dynamic element, will blow northwestward at 8 to 11 mph, with potential gusts up to 21 mph. The night-time narrative slightly shifts, as an interesting mix of rain and snow showers is a possibility before the early hours of Veterans Day, although the percentage chance remains notably low at 20%.
For those honoring Veterans Day outdoors, a sunny sky with a crisp high near 47 degrees awaits. The weather for the rest of the week projects a pattern of mostly clear to sunny days, with fluctuating but generally mild temperatures. Wednesday seems to be the week's warmest day with a high near 60 degrees, while the nights across the week hover in the 30s and 40s.
