Temperatures will continue to rise Saturday after the storms that scattered over parts of the D.C. region Friday night have come and gone. Here’s what you need to know.
It will be in the mid 80s on Saturday, which is below normal for this time of year but is considerably warmer than when the storms came through the area.
NBC Washington meteorologist Lauryn Ricketts said that humidity fell overnight and there will be plenty of sunshine throughout the weekend.
“It will feel very comfortable out there,” said Ricketts.
Any stray showers are confined to west of I-81, so Saturday will be dry. But overnight, the humidity is set to start creeping in, Ricketts said.
Temperatures will drop into the 60s and 70s and by Sunday, temperatures will be around 90.
“There could be a spotty shower tomorrow morning but most showers and thunderstorms come tomorrow afternoon through tomorrow evening,” said Ricketts.
