Washington is waking to clear skies and temperatures in the mid-60s, with a sunny Labor Day ahead. The District should stay dry through Monday, with a high near 84 degrees and light northeast winds keeping the holiday comfortable by late-summer standards.
Labor Day Stays Sunny And Dry
The National Weather Service Baltimore/Washington office expects sunshine throughout the day, with temperatures rising through the 70s before topping out in the mid-80s. Rain chances remain near zero, and no watches, warnings or advisories are listed for the District in the current forecast.
The updated outlook is a meaningful refinement from Hoodline's Sunday forecast, which also pointed to a bright holiday but left the later-week setup less settled. Tuesday should reach about 86 degrees, followed by a warmer Wednesday near 89 as humidity begins to return.
Heat And Storm Chances Return Thursday
Thursday is the week's main weather pivot, with mostly sunny skies early, a high near 90 and a 50% chance of showers and thunderstorms after 2 p.m. A few storms could be stronger, but the overall severe-weather threat currently looks limited.
Friday brings a noticeable reset, with only a slight chance of early showers before 8 a.m. and mostly sunny skies afterward. Highs should fall back to around 83 degrees, making Friday afternoon much less steamy than the middle of the week, according to the National Weather Service.
Weekend Warmth Returns With Limited Rain
Saturday looks mostly sunny with a high near 84 and only a slight chance of afternoon showers. Sunday warms back up to about 88 degrees under mostly sunny skies, giving Washington another broad window for outdoor plans before the next forecast update inevitably finds something else to worry about.
