Keep reading for the forecast through the weekend… Tomorrow (Tuesday): Skies are variably cloudy with some cloudier and sunnier periods. More clouds tend to focus in areas east of I-95. Some showers and thunderstorms – with locally heavy rain – could develop in the afternoon and evening, with our eastern suburbs having the best shot. Highs are in the mid-80s, while it’s on the humid side (dew points upper 60s). Confidence: Medium Tomorrow night: Some evening storms are possible but activity should diminish after sunset. Overnight, it becomes partly cloudy, with lows in the low-to-mid 60s. Confidence: Medium A LOOK AHEAD High pressure builds into the region Wednesday and Thursday, so both days should be mostly sunny and rain-free. Humidity drops noticeably with highs each day in the mid-80s. Overnight lows Wednesday range from the upper 50s to mid-60s (downtown). Some clouds may increase late Thursday as high pressure scoots away. Confidence: Medium Friday and Saturday are pretty typical Washington summer days. We have some sunshine but also a good deal of humidity and some late day storm chances. The storm chances are probably highest in our western areas. High climb into the mid-to-upper 80s. Friday night’s lows are in the 60s to near 70, under partly cloudy skies. Confidence: Medium A cold front pushing into the region Saturday night and then hovering through the day Sunday may mean fairly high chances of showers and storms. The period may not be a washout but the setup seems like the week’s most conducive for widespread storminess – though the setup could change. Lows Saturday night are in the 60s with highs Sunday in the low 80s. Confidence: Low-Medium A sneak peak at the forecast for July 4 is encouraging. High pressure may try to build into the region meaning dry, comfortably warm weather. But it’s far enough away that this outlook could change…so stay tuned. |
