Forecast in detail Our average high in Washington is now up to 63. We're gaining about half a degree a day as we power deeper into spring. The next few days are not far from average. They do tend to favor the cool side, but not by a whole lot. Some warmer air looms once we get beyond Monday. The going is good before that, though, with the main chance of any rain focused on tonight. Today (Saturday): Some well-timed spring weather. It is on the cool side, particularly early in the morning. If you've got to be out for a while, layers are probably a good idea. By midday into afternoon, the April sun is going to feel strong as temperatures rise to highs in the mid-50s to around 60. Clouds may begin streaming in before sunset. Winds are light and variable. Confidence: Medium-High Tonight: Clouds thicken through the evening. Passing showers are possible overnight, although for now anything that falls appears to be light.

Confidence: Medium-High Tomorrow night: It's another chilly night behind a weak front. Skies are mainly clear. Lows range from near freezing to the upper 30s, from the suburbs to the city center. Confidence: Medium A look ahead Monday's looking like another decent one. We're still on the cool side of normal, with highs near or a bit above 60. Given lots of sunshine and minimal wind, there shouldn't be too many complaints. Confidence: Medium Clouds increase on Tuesday, but we're more entrenched in a warm air mass. Highs are around 70 despite a good deal of clouds. The clouds are associated with a storm system impacting the south. It may throw some showers out way by late in the day. Confidence: Medium |
