| TODAY’S DAILY DIGIT
A somewhat subjective rating of the day’s weather, on a scale of 0 to 10. 6/10: TGIF bonus point helps boost a muggy, meh day. Fog, clouds and a shower/storm chance. It could be worse! EXPRESS FORECAST Today: PM shower/storm chance. Highs: 80-85.
Tonight: Cloudy, decreasing humidity. Lows: 60s.
Tomorrow: Sunnier, comfortable. Highs: Low-to-mid 80s.
Sunday: Sunny. Highs: Mid-to-upper 80s. FORECAST IN DETAIL After mugginess and clouds today and through tonight, Saturday’s sunnier and fairly comfortable conditions may be the weather star of the weekend. Get outside if you can, since Sunday’s sunshine comes with almost-hot air, but nothing too oppressive. Next week we may get a weak cold front trying to move through, which means increased humidity again and a chance of storms as we get back to work. Today (Friday): Muggy and very cloudy. Perhaps a (20 percent) chance of an early shower, or some fog and drizzle. As we head through midday and into the late afternoon especially, we have about a 40 percent chance of more showers or storms. A cold pocket of air aloft is swinging through. We don’t think rain will be too heavy or storms too strong, but probably a good idea to carry an umbrella with you. Low-to-mid 80s are about as high as we get for afternoon high temperatures. A northeasterly breeze around 5 to 10 mph keeps the air moving. Confidence: Medium-High Tonight: It’s still looking muggy, especially in the evening, but at least temperatures head down through the 70s quick. There’s a chance of a shower or storm early, but mainly it’s just cloudy. Northeasterly breezes around 5 to 10 mph are slow to die down. Pre-dawn low temperatures may hover in the mid-to-upper 60s around and inside the Beltway. Perhaps a few readings in the low 60s in the cooler, clearer spots well outside of the city.
