Thursday morning, patchy fog was developing as high-level clouds departed, with fog possible in low-lying spots. Sunshine then takes over, pushing the high to 85 degrees with light southwest winds and almost no chance of rain.
Friday Brings The Week’s Warmest Air
Friday looks warmer, with mostly sunny skies and a high near 88 degrees. A slight chance of showers arrives after 5 p.m., with southwest winds around 5 to 8 mph and a 20% chance of precipitation.
The National Weather Service Baltimore/Washington expects a cold front to approach Friday afternoon and push south overnight, bringing more scattered showers into the region. No watches, warnings or advisories are currently posted for Washington, according to the National Weather Service.
Rain Chances Build Through Sunday
Showers become more likely Friday night, when the rain chance reaches 50% and temperatures drop to around 60 degrees. Saturday stays mostly cloudy with a high near 68, and showers are possible before 2 p.m.
Sunday is shaping up as the wettest day of the weekend, with showers and thunderstorms likely after an early chance of rain. The latest forecast calls for a cloudy high near 65, a 50% rain chance and additional showers Sunday night, a wetter turn than Hoodline’s Wednesday outlook.
Cooler, Drier Weather Arrives Monday
A second cold front should cross the area Monday, followed by partly sunny skies and a high near 70 degrees. Monday night turns mostly clear with a low around 48, then Tuesday and Wednesday stay sunny with highs near 60 and 63.
For Washington residents, Thursday offers the clearest outdoor window, while Friday evening through Sunday will require some flexibility. The broader region could see frost in sheltered areas west of the Blue Ridge early next week, but that concern is not expected to apply to the District.
