But keep an eye on the week ahead, because the heat builds fast. Monday brings a high near 79 degrees under partly sunny skies, with a comfortable north breeze and overnight lows in the mid-fifties — dress in light layers for the morning commute. Tuesday is even nicer: full sunshine and a high of 76, ideal for lunch outdoors.

Then the climb begins in earnest. Wednesday reaches 81, Thursday pushes to 86, and by Friday Washington D.C. is looking at a high near 91 degrees under full sunshine. That's a significant jump across just three days. If you're sensitive to heat, have outdoor events planned, or need to prepare kids or pets for warm conditions, start thinking ahead now. Saturday matches Friday at 91 before clouds begin to build overnight.

The first real break arrives Sunday, when a 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms returns some atmospheric drama to the forecast. Temperatures stay warm at 89, but the pattern is finally shifting.

For today's commute and plans: carry nothing. No umbrella, no heavy jacket. Just enjoy the rare uncomplicated Sunday morning before a serious heat surge takes hold of the D.C. metro area this week.

The commute is clean, the roads are dry, and tonight cools beautifully to around 58°F with mostly clear skies. Open the windows — sleeping weather like this is worth taking advantage of.

Looking ahead, Monday and Tuesday keep the good stretch alive: mostly sunny skies, highs in the mid-to-upper 70s, and barely any wind. Tuesday night carries a slim 8% precipitation chance — nothing to worry about, but worth noting if you have outdoor plans.

Wednesday brings the first real shift. Expect sunshine during the day with a high of 78°F, but Wednesday night introduces rain showers at a 19% chance. Thursday holds that same 19% and pushes to 84°F — keep an umbrella accessible.

The weekend heats up significantly. Friday reaches 89°F, Saturday climbs to 91°F with some cloud cover and a slight chance of rain returning Saturday night. Summer is arriving ahead of schedule.

Saturday brings sunny skies and a high near 73°, with a northwest wind running 7 to 15 mph and gusts up to 25. A light layer makes sense in the morning, but you'll likely shed it by afternoon. Saturday night drops to around 52° — the coolest point of the stretch — so bring a jacket if you're out late.

Sunday is the highlight: sunny, near 77°, and almost no wind. A near-perfect spring day for the D.C. region. Open the windows, get outside.

The warmth keeps building. Monday reaches around 80° under mostly sunny skies. Tuesday introduces the first real chance of showers and a few thunderstorms — probability sits at roughly 22%, so not guaranteed, but worth watching if you have outdoor plans that matter.

After Tuesday, the pattern clears again. Wednesday and Thursday look sunny and warm, and by Friday the D.C. area could see a high near 88°. Summer is arriving early.

No severe weather alerts are in effect for the metro area. Commutes look clean this weekend. Skip the umbrella until Tuesday at the earliest. Light jacket this morning — none by Sunday. The whole weekend is yours.

For your commute, both morning and evening drives look completely free of weather complications. Dress in a light layer for the morning, but expect to shed it by midday. Tonight clears out beautifully with a low around 60 degrees and a gentle westerly breeze.

The weekend is equally impressive. Saturday brings more sunshine with a high of 73 and a brisker north wind gusting up to 22 mph — noticeable if you're spending time on exposed ground near the monuments. Saturday night cools sharply to around 52, so bring a layer if you're out late. Sunday rebounds to 75 degrees with nearly calm winds and zero percent rain. It's a legitimately beautiful late-spring weekend by D.C. standards.

Looking into next week, sunshine holds through Monday and Tuesday with highs in the mid-to-upper 70s. Small precipitation chances of 10 to 14 percent creep in around Tuesday and Wednesday — nothing to plan around yet. Thursday stands out as the week's highlight: sunny with a high near 81 degrees.

The good news arrives Thursday, when skies clear to mostly sunny and the high climbs to a comfortable 78 degrees. Wind picks up slightly — north at 5 to 13 mph with gusts near 28 — but nothing that disrupts plans. Friday follows with full sunshine and a high of 79, making for one of the better late-week stretches the D.C. metro has seen this season.

The weekend looks outstanding. Both Saturday and Sunday are sunny, with highs in the mid-seventies and light winds. Saturday night dips to around 52, so bring a layer if you're out late. Sunday holds near 74. Zero percent precipitation chance through the entire weekend — the city gets a genuine break.

Monday introduces a slight change: mostly sunny to start, then a 20 percent chance of showers develops later in the day. That pattern carries into Tuesday and Wednesday — not storms, just passing showers worth tracking if you have outdoor plans.

Tonight stays warm and muggy with the low holding around 65°F and rain chances continuing through the overnight hours. Don't expect a full break before Wednesday arrives.

Wednesday is the week's serious weather day. Showers and thunderstorms are expected with an 83% chance of precipitation and a high near 81°F. Patchy fog could complicate the morning commute before mid-morning clears. Rainfall totals of a quarter to half an inch are possible. If you have outdoor plans Wednesday, reschedule them now.

Wednesday night carries a 50% storm chance before conditions settle after 9 p.m., with a low near 64°F.

Then the forecast turns genuinely generous. Thursday arrives mostly sunny at 79°F with a refreshing north wind gusting up to 20 mph. Friday is fully sunny at 78°F with zero rain. Saturday and Sunday follow the same script — sunshine and mid-to-upper seventies all the way through. A beautiful late-spring stretch is waiting on the other side of this storm system.

Tonight the pattern shifts. Showers and thunderstorms are possible between 8 and 10 p.m., with the low dropping to around 65°F. If you have outdoor evening plans, watch the sky closely around dinner time.

Wednesday is the day to plan around. A 90% chance of precipitation means showers and thunderstorms are virtually guaranteed all day, with a high near 80°F and rainfall totals potentially hitting half an inch. Commutes will be slower — if you can move meetings or outdoor events indoors, do it now.

The reward comes fast. Thursday clears quickly with a high of 79°F and only a slight early shower chance. Friday is fully dry — sunny and 77°F. The weekend looks genuinely pleasant: mostly sunny, low 70s, light winds.

Sunday brings partial relief: showers likely through the morning before 10 a.m., a high near 70, and a mostly cloudy afternoon. Better, but not dry.

Washington D.C. is starting Friday under a grey, wet sky, and this weekend is shaping up to be one of the soggiest stretches in recent memory. Today's briefing covers current conditions, the full forecast through Memorial Day, and exactly what you need to know before stepping outside.

Right now it's 51°F with active showers and a northeast wind at 9 mph — a raw, damp start to the day. The rain stays through tonight with a 70% precipitation chance, so a waterproof jacket is non-negotiable for the commute. Expect wet roads, reduced visibility, and that bone-chilling combination of wind and rain that makes layers essential.

Saturday is effectively a washout: a 99% chance of precipitation, rain through the afternoon giving way to thunderstorms by evening, and a high of only 59°F with gusts up to 22 mph. Saturday night keeps the storms going with close to an inch of rain possible and a low around 55°F.

Sunday warms dramatically to near 74°F, but a 91% chance of showers and thunderstorms means the rain gear stays out. Memorial Day offers a glimmer of hope — highs near 80°F — but a 48% afternoon storm chance means timing matters. Aim for a late-morning cookout and watch the sky after lunch.

No active weather alerts are currently in effect for the D.C. metro area. Stay dry, give yourself extra commute time today, and keep that umbrella within reach all weekend.

Washington D.C. is in for a soggy stretch, and it starts right now. Friday opens with light rain already falling and temperatures at 59°F, with a 76% chance of afternoon precipitation and an east wind at around 7 mph. A light jacket and umbrella are non-negotiable for today's commute home.

Friday night stays wet with rain likely before 8 p.m., patchy fog rolling in, and a low near 52°F. Wind gusts up to 20 mph could give your umbrella trouble, so hold on tight.

Saturday is effectively a washout. A 98% chance of rain, patchy fog, a high near 60°F, and east winds gusting to 22 mph. If you had outdoor plans this weekend, time to find the indoor backup. Rainfall totals of half to three-quarters of an inch are possible on Saturday alone.

Sunday brings a warm-up to near 74°F, which is good news in theory — but that heat feeds a thunderstorm chance by the evening. Nothing severe is flagged right now, but keep an eye on it if you have outdoor plans.

Memorial Day looks like showers and thunderstorms with a high near 79°F — not the barbecue forecast anyone wanted. Storm chances carry into Tuesday before conditions start to ease. Thursday is currently the bright spot: mostly sunny with a high near 80°F. That's the light at the end of a very soggy tunnel.

Washington D.C. is heading into one of the wetter stretches of the season, and today is just the beginning. Light rain is already falling with a current temperature of 62°F, an east wind at 10 mph, and an 83% chance of precipitation this afternoon. Fog is expected to develop alongside the rain before 5 p.m., making for a tricky commute — give yourself extra time and extra following distance on the roads. A light waterproof layer and waterproof shoes are your best call today.

Tonight the rain intensifies. Widespread showers push through overnight with a 90% chance of precipitation and a low around 50°F. Saturday looks like a near-guaranteed washout — 97% chance of rain, highs near 62°F, and up to three-quarters of an inch of new rainfall possible by Saturday night. Any outdoor plans this weekend deserve a serious backup plan.

Sunday warms to near 75°F, which sounds like relief, but morning rain gives way to afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Memorial Day Monday continues the pattern — highs near 79°F but a 59% chance of showers and thunderstorms. If you're planning a cookout, watch the timing closely.

The good news: a drier pattern begins to build by mid-week, with Thursday looking mostly sunny and near 80°F. There is a light at the end of this soggy tunnel — but for now, keep that umbrella within reach.

(00:02:18) What to Wear and Watch

Washington D.C. is heading into one of the most dramatic weather weeks of the year — and if you're not prepared, this episode will change that.

The heat arrives first. Temperatures through May 18–20 are forecast to tie or break existing record highs of 96 degrees, making this a genuine record threat, not just a warm spell. If you have outdoor plans, the early part of the week is your window. Dress light, load up on water, avoid midday sun exposure, and get things done before the pattern flips.

And flip it will. Multiple forecast models are in strong agreement: a major precipitation event is on the way, bringing 2.5 to 3.5 inches of rain to the D.C. metro area. That's not a passing shower — it's a soaking, potentially disruptive rain event. Commuters should prepare for wet and windy conditions. Outdoor events, outdoor work, or anything that depends on dry ground faces serious disruption in the back half of the week.

The exact timing of peak rainfall is still developing, but expect forecast updates over the next 24–48 hours to sharpen the picture. What's already clear: record heat first, then heavy rain. Two separate weather stories, back to back.

Practically speaking — light layers now, rain gear mid-week. Keep an umbrella within reach, not in the boot of your car. This is a week to stay ahead of the forecast, not react to it.

Today is Washington D.C.'s final comfortable day before a significant heat wave takes hold of the metro area. Highs climb into the low 80s this afternoon under pleasant, light conditions — the kind of day that actually makes a lunch walk worth it. A ridge of high pressure is settling over the Mid-Atlantic right now, and once it locks in, it won't budge easily.

Here's the forecast timeline: tomorrow, highs jump to near 90 degrees — a sharp, single-day leap rather than a gradual warm-up. By Sunday, much of the metro will be flirting with that 90-degree mark. Then Monday and Tuesday become the core of the event, with highs surging well into the 90s. This is above-normal heat for mid-May, and the calendar saying "spring" means nothing to this ridge.

For today, dress for the 80s — light layers in the morning, shed them by afternoon. Tomorrow, switch to breathable fabrics and start hydrating earlier than you think necessary. Humidity levels through the heat wave are still uncertain; if dew points climb alongside temperatures, the feels-like reading could push well above what the thermometer shows.

Boaters take note: a Small Craft Advisory is in effect through tomorrow morning at 10 a.m., with southwest winds gusting up to 15 knots. Afternoon water plans tomorrow should be fine once the advisory clears.

No confirmed rain or storm relief is mapped beyond Tuesday yet. Watch the forecast heading into next week. For now — get outside today, and shift into heat-management mode by tomorrow morning.

Washington D.C. wakes up to one of the last comfortable days of spring — upper 50s to low 60s across the DMV, with gusty northwest winds adding a brisk edge. It feels more like early April than mid-May, and that's exactly the point: today is the cool day before the calendar flips hard.

Tonight drops into the forties for one final cool night, then Friday acts as a bridge day — pleasant, transitional, light jacket in the morning and probably not by afternoon. Enjoy the ease of it, because Saturday changes everything.

Highs climb to the lower-to-middle 80s on Saturday, representing a roughly thirty-degree swing from today in under 48 hours. Humidity ticks up but stays manageable over the weekend. Dry skies, no precipitation, and comfortable warmth make Saturday and Sunday an ideal window to get outside. Take it.

By early next week, the 90s arrive — well ahead of the typical mid-May average of low-to-mid 70s for the D.C. region. This is summer showing up uninvited and skipping spring entirely. Now is the time to check your AC, build your hydration habits, and make a mental note that the comfortable stretch ends fast.

The commute picture through the weekend is completely clean — no rain, no storms, dry roads, clear skies. Today, layer up and lean into the breezy conditions. The heat is coming. Today is the gift.

Washington D.C. is waking up to comfortable low-sixty-degree temperatures this Tuesday morning, but the week's rain system has arrived early and that changes everything about how you plan the next forty-eight hours. Late-day showers and thunderstorms are possible this evening, making tonight's commute the first pressure point. If you can leave earlier, do it — and pack an umbrella regardless.

Wednesday is the bigger story. A midweek rain system brings showers and thunderstorms likely through the afternoon and evening, affecting all-day travel, not just the rush-hour window. Outdoor plans should be cleared, transit buffer time built in, and remote work options used if available. This is not a passing drizzle — thunderstorms are in the forecast.

After Wednesday's system clears, the pattern flips dramatically. Temperatures climb through the eighties over the weekend and push toward ninety degrees early next week — a swing of roughly twenty-five to thirty degrees from today's highs. In late May, that acceleration is at the aggressive end of normal and is shaping up as a genuine summer preview.

The practical week in two phases: layers and an umbrella through Wednesday, then sunscreen and hydration from Thursday onward. Key things to watch: how severe Wednesday's thunderstorms turn out to be, and whether the near-ninety heat peaks Saturday or holds until early next week. Tomorrow's update will sharpen both.

Tuesday delivers some of the cleanest conditions D.C. has seen this week: warm temperatures, sunny skies, and low humidity across the metro area. If you have outdoor plans on hold, today is the day to act. No alerts, no surprises — the forecast is solid through tonight.

Then comes Wednesday. A cold front pushes through the Washington D.C. metro Wednesday afternoon and evening, bringing a line of showers and thunderstorms with a genuine severe weather risk. This isn't a routine rain event. Hail and damaging winds are possible, and the storm window lands directly on the evening commute. If you're driving or on surface transit Wednesday evening, build in extra time and monitor active alerts before you leave.

One open question is storm duration — they could clear quickly or drag into Wednesday night. If your schedule has any flexibility Wednesday evening, keep it. An umbrella won't cut it if severe weather develops: pack a rain jacket, waterproof footwear, and keep your phone charged with weather alerts enabled.

The good news is that the disruption is temporary. Once the cold front clears, warm and sunny conditions return for the back half of the week, with Friday onward looking like a solid rebound. Think of the week in three phases: an easy warm Tuesday, a high-risk Wednesday afternoon and evening, and a quick recovery into the weekend. Plan around that shape and the week is manageable.

Watch for updated severity specifics on Wednesday's storms as the timing firms up — the picture will sharpen throughout Tuesday.

Tuesday is the best day of the week to be outside in Washington D.C. Clear skies, below-normal temperatures that feel crisp rather than cold, and no precipitation make for an easy commute and ideal conditions to get outdoors. Light layers in the morning, and you may shed one by afternoon. No weather-related delays in either direction today.

A cold front that moved through over the weekend is still setting the tone through midweek, keeping temperatures cooler than typical for May. That same front is what's organizing Wednesday's incoming rain system — so enjoy Tuesday while it lasts.

Wednesday is where the week turns. Showers arrive in the afternoon, with the peak window running roughly 2 to 5 p.m. — a direct hit on the evening commute. Some of those showers could develop into thunderstorms, though the exact intensity isn't fully resolved yet. What's confirmed: rain is coming, and the commute home will feel it. If you're walking any distance, bring both an umbrella and a waterproof jacket. Leave early if you can.

Thursday begins a transition, and by Friday a warming trend builds noticeably into the weekend. The cool air mass that defined early week is on its way out. If you're planning anything for Friday or Saturday, the current picture looks encouraging.

The week splits cleanly in two: Tuesday is the last clean day, Wednesday brings rain and storm risk, and the back half warms up. Today's real decision is simple — use Tuesday.

Expect rain from the moment you step outside, with showers persisting through the morning and midday commute before conditions finally improve around 4–5 PM. Wet pavement, reduced visibility, and slower-than-usual traffic are the reality for the morning rush — if you can delay your departure, the afternoon gives you a cleaner ride home. Either way, treat today as a full rain day and carry an umbrella.

The bigger story this week isn't Monday's rain — it's Tuesday's sharp temperature drop. High pressure moves in overnight, bringing sunshine and highs near 62 degrees. That's well below seasonal norms for mid-May, and after a warm weekend, it's going to feel noticeably cold. Layers are essential; don't let the sunshine trick you into leaving the jacket behind.

For context, the D.C. metro area is already running 5.8 inches below normal rainfall for the year, and Monday's system won't close that gap in any meaningful way. The wet days feel frequent, but the cumulative deficit continues.

Looking ahead: Wednesday brings another unsettled system whose timing and intensity are still uncertain — worth checking back Tuesday evening before committing to outdoor plans. Thursday is the next window of reliable improvement. The week in short: wet Monday, clean but cold Tuesday, uncertain Wednesday, better Thursday. Plan accordingly.
