Washington is starting Sunday with light rain, fog and temperatures in the low 60s, and the damp weather is likely to linger through early afternoon. Showers are likely before 2 p.m., keeping the District cloudy with a high near 67, so anyone heading out should plan for wet sidewalks and reduced visibility.
Rain Eases After Lunch
The National Weather Service puts the daytime rain chance at 70%, with new rainfall generally staying below a tenth of an inch. Hourly chances are highest this morning, then fall sharply during the afternoon; skies should remain cloudy even after the showers fade.
Sunday night stays mostly cloudy, with a low around 58 and light north winds. No watches, warnings or advisories are posted for the District, but the early fog and damp roads could make the morning commute slower than usual.
Sunny Skies Arrive With A Windy Monday
The forecast flips quickly Monday: mostly sunny skies, a high near 70 and northwest winds that could gust to 21 mph. The dry pattern continues Tuesday through Friday, with sunny highs of 65 on Tuesday, 71 on Wednesday, 75 on Thursday and 74 on Friday.
Overnight temperatures will feel more like fall after Monday, dropping to about 48 degrees Monday night and 47 Tuesday night. Lows moderate into the upper 40s to low 50s later in the week, making jackets more useful after sunset even as afternoons warm up.
A Forecast Shift From Saturday
The latest outlook is a meaningful update to Hoodline’s Saturday forecast: Sunday’s rain timing is clearer, and the week now looks notably sunnier and more settled after Monday’s front. For District residents, the practical takeaway is simple—keep the umbrella handy Sunday morning, then look for a much friendlier stretch by Monday afternoon.
