D.C.-area forecast: Cool into the weekend before big warming trend


A somewhat subjective rating of the day’s weather, on a scale of 0 to 10.

6/10: Mild temperatures are a nice thing, but there’s no denying the pollen has us crying.

  • Today: Partly cloudy, light breezes. Highs: 56-62
  • Tonight: Gradual clearing and calm. Lows: 38-44
  • Tomorrow: Mainly sunny, minimal breeze. Highs: 59-65

For those who want to savor cooler spring temperatures, the next three days are for you. But for those who embrace summer heat, just wait until early next week, when we could hit 90. Whether it’s cool or whether it’s warm, shower chances are minimal for the next five days.

Today (Thursday): Clouds are fairly plentiful today, but at least intermittent sunshine will help take the chill off. Light winds from the north help to hold highs to just the upper 50s and lower 60s. Confidence: Medium-High

Tonight: Winds calm in the evening and clouds gradually dissipate. This allows for another chilly night with lows in the upper 30s to lower 40s. Confidence: High

A storm system out in the Upper Midwest pushes a warm front toward our area Saturday. However, cool air wedged over the area is hard to dislodge and highs do no better than upper 50s to lower 60s. Clouds are abundant but shower potential is minimal. Confidence: Medium-High

The warm air does finally surge into the area Sunday with highs jumping up to the upper 70s to lower 80s under mainly sunny skies. Overnight lows only slip to the upper 50s to lower 60s. Confidence: Medium-High

Summerlike heat settles in Monday with plenty of sunshine. Humidity is only moderate (dew points near 60). Highs are mainly mid-to-upper 80s but a 90 could certainly pop up somewhere. Record highs are 89 at Dulles and 91 at Reagan National and BWI Marshall airports. Please no. Confidence: Medium-High
