FORECAST IN DETAIL

After hitting 90+ two days in a row, we get to take a slight break today as Hurricane Maria throws us some clouds. The storm shifts east tomorrow, and we should start to get some sunshine and heat back, but an approaching cool front by Thursday should cap the heat before it cools down more significantly by Friday and the weekend.

Today (Tuesday): Partly to mostly cloudy skies limit temperature increases today, but we should still reach warmer-than-normal lower to middle 80s range. Very light breezes from the northeast do not do much to offset moderate to high humidity levels (dew points in the middle to upper 60s). A slight chance for light showers exists well to the east and south of the immediate D.C. area. Confidence: Medium

Tonight: Partly to mostly cloudy skies continue under the periphery of Maria’s influence with muggy low temperatures near 70. Light winds blow from the north again. A very stray shower is also possible, especially east of the city. Confidence: Medium

Tomorrow (Wednesday): Some clouds may still be around in the morning, but partly sunny skies should break through by midday and afternoon, especially around the city and points north and west. Temperatures get a stronger start and move into the middle to upper 80s for afternoon highs. Humidity is still moderate to high, so it’ll feel summery yet again. Light winds from the north again. Confidence: Medium

Tomorrow night: A few clouds around with still-sufficient humidity to hold lows up into the upper 60s to even around 70 right in the city. Confidence: Medium

A LOOK AHEAD

Thursday still runs warm with low-to-middle 80s for highs under partly to mostly sunny skies, but the humidity starts to come down during the day. Afternoon humidity levels actually return to low levels. Thursday night should be mostly clear and shifts quite a bit cooler with lows ranging through the 50s. Confidence: Medium

AD

Friday finds much closer to normal temperatures with partly to mostly sunny skies as highs only manage to range up into the 70s along with low humidity. Friday night could see a few clouds, but temperatures again into the cool 50s range. Confidence: Medium
