Mums, October 2, 2016. (J W Comer via Flickr) TODAY’S DAILY DIGIT
A somewhat subjective rating of the day’s weather, on a scale of 0 to 10. 7/10: Lovely warmth but a bit of a waste, too many clouds and stray showers for my taste. EXPRESS FORECAST Today: Partly cloudy, midafternoon sprinkle possible. Highs: 71-75
Tonight: Clearing and breezy. Lows: 47-53
Tomorrow: Sunshine through high clouds. Highs: 63-67 View the current weather conditions at The Washington Post headquarters. FORECAST IN DETAIL Chances are in your favor of staying dry today as a front cruises through with little moisture. That leads to an even drier weekend and “seasonally correct” temperatures. There should be good views of the Hunter Moon (a super full moon) rising Saturday night. A burst of warmth looks likely for early next week, and we might even take a run at 80 one more time! Today (Thursday): Patches of fog and variable cloud cover in the morning but partly cloudy is a reasonable descriptor. A cold front pushes across the area in the afternoon leading to mostly cloudy conditions for a time with a slight chance for a shower or sprinkle. West winds are light. Highs should peak in the low-to-mid 70s. Confidence: Medium-High Tonight: Skies quickly clear in the evening while breezes pick up from the northwest at 10-15 mph behind the front, with even some higher gusts. Readings fall quickly through the 60s into the upper 50s giving a bit of a chill to those out at the Nationals-Dodgers final playoff game. Lows end up in the mid-upper 40s in the suburbs to the lower 50s downtown. Confidence: High |
