Washington is getting a low-drama Halloween: Saturday starts clear and cool, then climbs from the upper 40s into the low 60s under mostly sunny skies. The afternoon high should reach about 63 degrees, with light northerly winds and virtually no rain threat for trick-or-treaters across the District.
Sunny Saturday, Jacket Weather After Dark
The National Weather Service forecast calls for mostly sunny conditions through the afternoon, with temperatures topping out near 63 degrees. Clouds will increase after sunset, and the overnight low should fall to around 46, so anyone lingering outside for Halloween events will want a jacket.
Warmth Lingers Into Early Next Week
Sunday stays mostly cloudy but mild, with a high near 69 and a low around 45. Monday should be mostly cloudy, with a high in the upper 60s to low 70s east of the Blue Ridge, while Tuesday brings a high near 71, below Friday's high near 75.
Rain Chances Return Wednesday Night
Wednesday remains warm, with rain chances increasing. Rain chances rise Wednesday night and Thursday, when showers are likely and a few thunderstorms could develop; rain is forecast to continue into Friday.
This is a substantive shift from Hoodline's earlier D.C. forecast, which had rain returning sooner. The latest outlook keeps the District dry through Tuesday, making Saturday the clear winner for outdoor plans before umbrellas become more useful later in the week.
