Fog, clouds and scattered showers are setting up a damp Friday across Washington, with a chance of thunder early and a high near 69 degrees. The wet stretch should lose steam from late morning into afternoon, making way for a much cooler, breezier weekend.
Showers Fade After A Muggy Morning
Rain activity is expected to increase early Friday, with scattered showers continuing through about 4 p.m. Rainfall totals could reach a quarter to half an inch, with patchy fog and reduced visibility adding another wrinkle to the morning commute.
Friday's high should reach the upper 60s before temperatures fall to around 47 degrees Friday night. The latest National Weather Service forecast lists no advisories for Washington, though boaters on nearby Maryland waters face Small Craft Advisories Saturday as winds strengthen.
Sunny Weekend, Sharp Wind Shift
Saturday brings sunshine and a high near 59, but northwest winds of 10 to 15 mph could gust to 26 mph. Saturday night dips to around 45, while Sunday rebounds to a sunnier 63 with lighter west winds.
The quiet pattern continues into next week, with sunny skies Monday and Tuesday and a high near 69 Tuesday. A previous Hoodline forecast outlined the warm-to-wet turn; the updated outlook now points to a cooler, drier stretch after Friday’s rain, with Veterans Day expected to reach about 65.
