6-Day forecast for the Washington, D.C. metro region
Today
Mainly sunny, breezy, becoming warmer after a cool start to the day, highs in the mid 70’s; W winds around 5-15 mph
Tonight
Partly cloudy, cool, lows in the lower 50’s

Mainly sunny, markedly warmer, breezy, mid-to-upper 80’s for afternoon highs
Thursday Night
Mainly clear, mild, lower 60’s for late night lows
Friday
Mainly sunny, very warm…perhaps even into record territory, near 90 degrees
Saturday
Increasing clouds, warm, breezy, chance of showers late in the day, maybe a thunderstorm, near 80 degrees; there is the threat of some soaking rainfall at night
Sunday
Mainly cloudy early with lingering showers possible, partly sunny in the afternoon, cooler, breezy, low-to-mid 60’s
Monday

Discussion
High pressure will remain in control through the remainder of the work week with increasingly warm conditions. Temperatures today will climb into the 70’s after a cool start, into the 80’s on Thursday, and then perhaps flirt with the 90 degree mark on Friday. The weekend will feature a strong cold front that edges this way from the Ohio Valley. This system is likely to generate some soaking rainfall around here on Saturday night and cooler, breezy conditions will follow for Sunday and Monday.
