Paul Dorian
6-Day forecast for the Washington, D.C. metro region
Today
Mainly cloudy, warm, humid, breezy, good chance of showers and a possible strong thunderstorm, some of the rain can be heavy at times, highs in the mid 80’s
Tonight
Mainly cloudy, mild, lows in the mid 60’s
Friday
Mainly sunny, warm, mid 80’s for afternoon highs
Friday Night
Mainly clear, mild, lower 60’s for late night lows
Saturday
Increasing clouds, comfortable temperatures, cannot rule out a couple of late day and evening showers, near 80 degrees
Sunday
Considerable clouds, still comfortable, chance of showers and thunderstorms, mid 70’s
Monday
Considerable clouds, still on the cool side of normal for this time of year, chance of showers and thunderstorms, mid 70’s
Tuesday
Considerable clouds, still a bit cooler-than-normal, chance of showers and thunderstorms, mid-to-upper 70’s
Discussion
A slow-moving cool front will bring us occasional showers today and there can be a strong thunderstorm mixed in as well. A cooler-than-normal air mass will push into the region early this weekend resulting in comfortable temperatures for the weekend and the first half of next week. The atmosphere will become increasingly unsettled, however, with the combination of cool air aloft and a slow-moving upper-level trough moving in overhead. Showers cannot be ruled out later Saturday and there is a likelihood for showers on Sunday, Monday and perhaps Tuesday as well.
