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

Today

Partly sunny, hot, humid, becoming windy, chance of mid-day and afternoon showers and thunderstorms, some of the storms later today can be strong and some of the rain can be heavy, highs in the mid-to-upper 90’s; SW winds increasing to around 10-20 mph

Friday Night             

An evening shower or thunderstorm is possible; otherwise, partly cloudy, balmy, muggy, mid 70’s for late night lows

Saturday

Partly sunny, still hot, humid, chance of showers and thunderstorms, mid 90’s

Discussion              

The next two days will feature high heat and humidity in the DC metro region with high temperatures up in the 90’s and dew points in the 70’s. The active weather pattern of late will continue as well over the next few days with the threat of heavy showers and strong thunderstorms later today and again on Saturday. The culprit today will be yet another wave of energy dropping southeast across the Great Lakes and the Saturday threat comes ahead of an incoming strong cool front. The passage of the cool front on Saturday night will bring us significant relief in the heat and humidity for Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.
