The District is starting Wednesday under clear skies with temperatures in the upper 40s, but sunshine will push the mercury to about 68 degrees by afternoon. Veterans Day plans should get a rare November assist from mild, dry weather before the pattern takes a sharp turn.
The National Weather Service Baltimore/Washington forecast calls for light southeast winds and no rain during the day. There are currently no watches, warnings or advisories posted for Washington, according to the National Weather Service.
Rain Arrives Early Thursday
Clouds will thicken Wednesday night, with a slight chance of rain after 4 a.m. Thursday and a low near 48 degrees. Thursday brings a 50% chance of rain before 1 p.m., followed by scattered showers, with a high near 65 and west winds gusting up to 23 mph.
Thursday night stays unsettled, with rain showers possible, a low around 42 and northwest winds near 17 mph. Friday starts with a slight shower chance before 7 a.m., then turns mostly sunny but much cooler, topping out near 51 degrees.
Brisk And Mostly Sunny Into Next Week
Saturday and Sunday look mostly sunny, with highs near 50 and 52 degrees, though northwest winds will keep both days feeling brisk. Overnight lows fall into the mid-30s by Sunday and Monday nights, and the National Weather Service says areas outside the urban core and tidal shoreline could see their first freeze of the season early next week.
The latest outlook sharpens the timing of the Thursday rain and the colder follow-up described in earlier Hoodline coverage. After Friday, the forecast stays largely dry, with mostly sunny skies and highs in the lower 50s through Tuesday.
