Washington, D.C., starts Wednesday with clear skies and temperatures in the mid-60s, but the quiet morning will give way to a summerlike afternoon. The District is headed for sunshine, light southerly winds and a high near 86 degrees.
Sunny Wednesday Leads Into More Heat

Thursday turns even warmer, with mostly sunny skies and a high near 89 degrees. A few showers or thunderstorms could develop Thursday night, mainly between 7 p.m. and 2 a.m., with a 30% chance of precipitation.
Friday Brings A Breezier Turn
A cold front is expected to cross the region early Friday, shifting winds to the north and bringing a mostly sunny afternoon with a high near 85. Winds may become noticeably breezier behind the front, while overnight temperatures fall back to around 64 degrees.
Weekend Forecast Turns More Unsettled
Saturday looks like the best outdoor day of the weekend, with mostly sunny skies and a cooler high near 80. The weather becomes less cooperative Sunday, when a 50% chance of showers and thunderstorms arrives alongside a high near 83.
Showers remain possible Monday, with another 50% rain chance and a high near 80, followed by more shower and thunderstorm chances Tuesday.
