Keep reading for the forecast through midweek… Tomorrow (Sunday): We’ve got warm air surging in from the south, but cool air trying to hold its ground to our north. The result is mostly cloudy skies, the chance of occasional light showers, and a low-confidence temperature forecast. Best guess is that most spots reach highs at least near 60, and near 70 isn’t out of the question especially south of the Beltway. On the other hand, highs only in the 50s are also possible, especially north of the Beltway. Confidence: Low-Medium Tomorrow night: Shower chances diminish during the evening, but then winds whip out of the northwest overnight, gusting over 30 mph. As colder air filters back in, temperatures tumble toward lows in the 30s to near 40. Confidence: Medium A LOOK AHEAD And we’re back to winter on Monday with plenty of sun, but winds still gusting strongly, possibly near or past 40 mph from the northwest. Highs may have trouble getting past the mid-40s, followed by diminishing winds Monday night with lows in the mid-20s to low 30s. Confidence: Medium Temperatures moderate a bit by Tuesday. We should hold on to at least partly sunny skies as highs head for near 50. Confidence: Medium SNOW POTENTIAL INDEX A daily assessment of the potential for at least 1 inch of snow in the next week, on a 0-10 scale. 1/10 (→): A snow/rain chance around Wednesday-Thursday keeps the SPI alive, though temperatures don’t look particularly cold as of now. |
