Washington starts Wednesday with patchy fog before mostly sunny skies prevail and temperatures in the mid-50s, but the District is headed for a warm 76-degree afternoon before a two-day rain stretch arrives. South or southeast winds will be light initially, with afternoon and evening gusts of 15–20 mph, making the first half of the day feel more like early fall than November.
Sunny Wednesday Gives Way To Clouds
Mostly sunny skies should hold through midday, with temperatures around 75 to 76 through the afternoon. Clouds will build tonight, bringing a low near 62 and a 30% chance of showers after 4 a.m. Thursday.
The latest update sharpens the timing of the unsettled weather compared with Hoodline’s earlier forecast. There are no watches, warnings or advisories posted for the District.
Rain Chances Rise Thursday And Friday
Thursday will remain unusually mild, with a high in the upper 60s to low 70s under mostly cloudy skies. Showers are possible throughout the day, with a 40% chance of rain and south winds around 10 mph that could gust to 20 mph; the odds rise to 60% Thursday night.
Friday looks like the wettest day, with rain likely mainly before 1 p.m., a high near 71 and a 70% chance of precipitation. The National Weather Service expects roughly a quarter- to half-inch of rain across the broader region through Friday, with locally heavier totals possible east of Interstate 95.
Weekend Skies Turn Drier And Cooler
Saturday should bring a reset, with mostly sunny skies and a high near 64 after partly cloudy skies Friday night. Sunday will be mostly sunny near 66, and Monday’s shower chances are confined to the mountains, with a high near 61 in the District.
For outdoor plans, Wednesday is the clear winner before umbrellas become useful late Thursday and Friday. The weekend looks cooler but far more cooperative, with brisk northwest winds adding a November edge to otherwise bright skies.
