After a rough Saturday night that toppled trees and cut power in Maryland, the D. C. area is calming down today.  

The sky will be clear and warm, with temperatures climbing close to 70°F later in the day.  

A weather front that caused last night’s storms lies mostly south of the metro now. It may bring a few more thunder showers just below I‑66, so people staying in that zone should keep an eye on the forecast.  

Tonight’s clouds will part, and temperatures will fall into the 60s. The night should feel cool enough to sleep comfortably.

Monday looks like the coolest day so far this week. Highs will hit the mid‑80s, a bit cooler than the rest of the week.  

By Wednesday, heat will rise again, and the possibility of rain or storms increases as we head toward the weekend.

The pattern shows a swing from calm to wet conditions, so residents should prepare for both sunshine and sudden showers.
