Washington starts Sunday under cloudy skies, but the bigger story is what rolls in after breakfast: showers, rising humidity and a chance of thunderstorms. Temperatures will reach the low to mid-80s before a cold front sends the District into a notably cooler and wetter stretch.
Morning showers and possible afternoon thunderstorms are expected. Winds will shift to the southwest Sunday afternoon. The National Weather Service says no watches, warnings or advisories are posted for the District.
A Quick Warm-Up Before The Pattern Flips
Sunday’s high should reach the low to mid-80s, with the steamiest and stormiest conditions most likely later in the day. A cold front will pass overnight, dropping temperatures to around 65 and shifting winds toward the north. The update is a sharper turn from Saturday’s Hoodline forecast, which had already flagged a stormier start to the week but did not point to quite such a persistent wet pattern.
Monday Starts Cooler, Then Rain Returns
Monday will be cooler, with showers possible. Monday evening could also bring showers.
Midweek Looks More Like October
Tuesday brings showers and possible thunderstorms. Wednesday stays cloudy with showers, while Thursday continues to carry shower chances. For outdoor plans, umbrellas and flexible schedules may be more useful than optimism through midweek.
Weekend Finally Dries Out
Friday should bring decreasing shower potential. By Saturday, drier conditions are expected as shower chances decrease, giving Washington a cooler but considerably cleaner finish to the week.
