Washington is starting Saturday with clear skies and a crisp mid-40s chill, but the District will warm quickly under full sunshine. The high should reach 64 degrees with no rain and east to southeast flow. It is the kind of fall day that starts with a jacket and ends with people carrying it.
The National Weather Service Baltimore-Washington office expects Saturday night to stay mostly clear, with a low around 44 and light northeast winds. Frost or freezing temperatures remain possible in many outlying areas, especially away from downtown Washington, although the District itself has no active advisory in the supplied forecast. Gardeners and early commuters beyond the urban core should be prepared for a colder start Sunday.
Sunday Starts Foggy, Then Turns Sunny
Patchy fog could linger before 7 a.m. Sunday, followed by sunshine and a high near 68. The night will be clear and colder, dipping to about 41, so the warm afternoon will not erase the early-morning chill. Winds will stay light or variable.
Dry Stretch Runs Into Next Weekend
Monday is forecast to be sunny and near 70, with Tuesday reaching about 68 after a dry wind shift. Wednesday through Friday are expected to bring mostly clear skies and seasonable highs in the 60s to low 70s.
The pattern is expected to remain broadly dry, with no precipitation anticipated with the front. The newest outlook is a modestly warmer update to Hoodline's earlier D.C. forecast, lifting the weekend highs while keeping the same dry pattern. For outdoor plans, the practical forecast is simple: layer up early, enjoy the sun by afternoon, and keep the umbrella at home.
