6-Day forecast for the Washington, D.C. metro region

Chance of evening showers and thunderstorms; otherwise, partly cloudy skies, mild, muggy, patchy fog possible towards daybreak, lows in the lower 70’s

Friday Night

Discussion
High pressure will remain in control through tonight and then a cold front will arrive in the area on Friday. This front will not have much of a push behind it and is likely to stall out in the Mid-Atlantic region this weekend. Its proximity on Saturday and Sunday should bring us a bit of relief in the temperature department and there will continue to be a threat of showers and thunderstorms. On the tropical scene, there is a growing threat for a hurricane - perhaps even "major" - Louisiana coastal region by the early part of next week.
