A somewhat subjective rating of the day’s weather, on a scale of zero to 10. 9/10: Looks pretty perfect, but perhaps too cool for some of you? Enjoy a sunny, fall Friday! Ohhh, yeahhh! EXPRESS FORECAST Today: Mostly sunny, slight breeze. Highs: Near 60 to mid-60s.
Tonight: Mostly clear, turning calm. Lows: Upper 30s to upper 40s.
Tomorrow: More sun than clouds. Highs: Mid-60s to around 70.
Sunday: Mainly sunny and still pleasant. Highs: Upper 60s to mid-70s. FORECAST IN DETAIL Cool today, but a warming trend moves in shortly — promise. Crisp, autumnal high pressure is setting up shop for a while, which should keep us sunny and dry with breezes generally pleasant and under control. October at its finest?! Today (Friday): Similar to, say, this past Monday, it may feel pleasantly cool under mostly sunny skies. Perhaps a periodic, thin veil of high clouds, but don’t worry. Temperatures should get from morning 50s to afternoon readings near 60 to the mid-60s. You may not need that morning light jacket on the way home! Arguably a great, beautiful day despite slightly below-average high temperatures. Some folks may fall below official Nice Day criteria (65-85 degrees) but it’s close enough for a Friday. Light north breezes around 5 mph are probable. Confidence: High Tonight: Mostly clear skies look great for stargazing! Northeasterly breezes around 5 mph in the evening, calm by late night. This clear and calm scenario allows the atmosphere to effectively cool off (no cloud insulation and no wind stirring it up). As such, we see temperatures dropping into the chilly upper 30s in colder outlying areas while staying in the mid-to-upper 40s around the Beltway. Confidence: High |
