Discussion
Today will be rather warm in the DC metro region, but with moderate humidity levels. Excessive heat, however, is on the way for the upcoming weekend from Friday through Sunday. After the decent start to the new work week, heat and humidity will build on Tuesday and there can be a few late day and/or nighttime showers and thunderstorms. The remains of Barry will enhance the chance for showers and storms from late Wednesday into Thursday and some of this rain can be heavy at times. Once that moisture pushes away, excessive heat will build into the Mid-Atlantic region with mid-to-upper 90's possible here for highs on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and triple digits is on the table...certainly the hottest weather so far this summer season.
