The Washington Monument, October 19, 2016. (George Jiang via Flickr) TODAY’S DAILY DIGIT
A somewhat subjective rating of the day’s weather, on a scale of 0 to 10. 8/10: This rating you may debate, but to me the warmth feels great. Prefer the cold? Not long to wait. EXPRESS FORECAST Today: Early morning clouds/isolated shower/fog, then partly cloudy. Highs: 77-81
Tonight: Mostly cloudy; fog/isolated showers late. Lows: 61-65
Tomorrow: Showers increase during the day. Highs: 65-71 View the current weather conditions at The Washington Post headquarters. FORECAST IN DETAIL The record warmth is over, but today is still more late summer than mid-fall. But fear not, cold lovers, for the weekend is all yours. Showers will mark the transition on Friday, but unfortunately for our cadre of gardeners, there won’t be nearly enough rain to keep newly planted pansies happy. Dry weather should help those who have Halloween decorating on their agenda this weekend. Today (Thursday): Early-morning risers could see a shower, while others see areas of fog. Most of the fog and clouds should burn off by late morning. As the day warms, clouds pop up anew in the afternoon. Temperatures are on a slower climb, but highs are likely to top out in the upper 70s to near 80 — still about 15 degrees above normal. Winds are light from the east and then shift to south by midday. Confidence: Medium-High Tonight: The evening is one to enjoy with temps holding in the 70s and light south winds. By late night, shower chances start to improve, but the rain is still likely to be isolated. More patchy fog may develop. Lows hold in the low to mid-60s (practically the normal highs for this date!). Confidence: Medium-High |
