Today (Thursday): Remnants of storms that hit the Midwest and Tennessee Valley on Wednesday scatter showers across the region, especially in the morning. By afternoon, showers should be more spotty but a possible storm or two could pop up late, especially south and southwest of the District. Light winds are from the east, so it’s not as warm — and that should reduce storm intensity. The chance of severe storms has dropped but should still be watched. Highs are in the low to mid-70s. Confidence: Medium
Tonight: Showers and possibly a few storms — mainly south and southeast of the Beltway — linger into the evening, so keep the umbrella handy. Light east winds persist with lows ranging through the 50s. Confidence: Medium-High

Tomorrow (Friday): Winds (occasionally gusty) from the northwest help push cooler air steadily into the area. Showers could pop up throughout the day, but they are most likely in the afternoon. Highs are mainly in the low to mid-60s, so a jacket might be a good thing. Confidence: Medium-High
Tomorrow night: Shower threats diminish in the evening, but clouds persist through the night. Northwest winds continue to push down temperatures as lows fall to the upper 40s to lower 50s. Confidence: Medium-High
We finally get a little more in the way of sun Saturday morning. However, a quick-moving wave of showers coming out of the Great Lakes arrives by the afternoon with scattered showers possible, potentially lingering through much of the night. Highs hold in the low to mid-60s, with overnight lows in the upper 40s to lower 50s. Confidence: Medium
It still looks like we can’t shake shower risks on Sunday either, but amounts remain very light and scattered. Sun should sneak through on occasion helping to warm the area to the mid- to upper 60s. Clouds diminish overnight with lows again in the upper 40s to lower 50s. Confidence: Medium
Monday should finally give us a day free of shower threats under partly sunny skies. Highs climb to the low to mid-70s. Confidence: Medium
