A Week of Changing Weather for DC

Saturday – Rainy Start, Stormy Finish

The day after today promises a soggy morning, with steady rain and a touch of warmth lingering throughout the state. As evening descends, light showers will give way to scattered storms—some rumbly with thunder. These disturbances will linger until midnight, with the most intense activity concentrated in Virginia’s Northern Neck and Southern Maryland, where gusty winds could pose a risk to property.

Overnight, temperatures will dip into the comfortable upper 60s, while humidity levels keep the air thick. A thin veil of fog may greet early risers, adding an eerie calm to the end of the stormy period.

Sunday – Storms Return, Then Clear Skies

A new weather disturbance arrives, bringing frequent showers and storms through the region. While some thunderstorms could reach severe levels, the main threats will be brief bursts of heavy rain, lightning, and strong winds. The worst of the weather should taper off by sunset, leaving behind a clear, star-filled night—perfect for evening plans.

Monday – A Bright Respite

High pressure takes hold, dispelling the clouds and ushering in a sunny, pleasant day. Temperatures will hover in the mid-to-upper 80s, balanced by moderate humidity, making it ideal for outdoor activities before the heat intensifies later in the week. The evening will offer a crisp, cloudless sky, ideal for a late-night stroll.

Tuesday – Heat Builds, Rain Holds Off

The high-pressure system migrates eastward, allowing southerly breezes to sweep in. Under mostly sunny skies, temperatures will climb into the lower 90s, with humidity creeping upward. Rain remains a no-show, leaving the day warm, dry, and ripe for summer adventures.
