As days shorten and the chill of fall firmly takes hold, Washington D.C. braces for a spell of typical November weather. According to the National Weather Service (NWS), residents can expect a cloudy day ahead with a chance of rain post 1 p.m., and a modest high peering at 56 degrees. The humidity hangs heavy at 80%, with a dewpoint of 42°F, providing a slightly dampened canvas for the day's overcast artistry.
Tonight's forecast reads like an assurance for those fond of rain; an 80% chance of precipitation spells out a wet evening with new rainfall amounts ranging between a tenth and a quarter of an inch. The weekend brings a little reprieve with Saturday afternoon skies clearing up, although a 30% chance of rain lingers before giving way to sunnier Sunday skies.
The NWS extended forecast promises a start to the week under the auspices of sunshine with highs fluttering around the upper 50s—Monday sports a defiant sunny high near 59. However, as the week progresses, chances of rain creep back into the picture, with Tuesday offering up to a 40% chance of precipitation after 1 p.m., and a likely rain-drenched Tuesday night.
Transitioning into midweek, Wednesday wades through a 40% chance of rain with temperatures reaching a more generous high near 66. But the weather takes another brisk turn as Thanksgiving Day approaches, clearing the stage for a mostly sunny performance with the mercury hovering near a more temperate 53 degrees.
