Washington gets one of the weekend's better weather windows on Saturday, with mostly cloudy skies, winds shifting from north-northeast in the morning to east and southeast during the afternoon, and a high near 80. The forecast stays mostly dry through the day, giving outdoor plans a decent shot before a much wetter and cooler pattern takes over.
Saturday Stays Mostly Dry
According to the National Weather Service, Saturday will remain dry through the day. The overnight low should be around 70.
Sunday Brings Heat, Then Storms
Sunday turns warmer and more humid, with temperatures reaching well into the 80s. Shower and thunderstorm chances increase Sunday afternoon into Sunday night, with showers and thunderstorms likely Sunday night.
Cooler, Wetter Pattern Takes Over
Monday brings showers and cooler conditions, followed by showers and cooler temperatures Tuesday. Cooler conditions continue into midweek, with showers and disturbances possible later in the week.
For anyone arranging outdoor plans, Saturday is the clear favorite, while Sunday will need a backup plan for late-day and evening storms. The updated outlook is a substantive shift from Hoodline's earlier forecast, which called for a sunnier Saturday and a less unsettled Sunday. The District has no current watches, warnings or advisories, although boaters should note that a Small Craft Advisory remains in effect on area waters through Saturday morning.
