It’s set to be a stunning Labor Day weekend in the D.C. region with comfortably warm temperatures, mostly sunny skies and altogether a forecast prime for picnics, parades and outdoor festivities.
There will be some points during the holiday weekend where you might want to grab some sunscreen to avoid a late-season burn or a light jacket to stay warm through a chilly morning.
Wake-up temperatures on Saturday will be in the 50s, a bit cooler than usual for late August.
Saturday will be cooler than Friday but northwest winds are expected to calm down a bit.
Morning clouds are expected to move out by Saturday afternoon — making way for sunny skies and highs in the mid to upper 70s. There will be a light breeze throughout the day of 5 to 10 mph and low humidity.
“A little cooler for your Saturday, with highs in the mid to upper 70s,” 7News First Alert Meteorologist Mark Peña said. “But this stretch of pleasant weather continues all the way through Labor Day, Monday, with temperatures back right around 80 degrees, overnight lows in the 50s and our next best chance of rain doesn’t enter the forecast until about a week from now.”
Sunday’s forecast keeps up with a similar pattern. It will start off brisk with temperatures in the 40s and 50s.
Things warm back up to 80 in the afternoon and low humidity sticks around.
Labor Day temperatures will reach the low to mid-80s with southeast winds blowing at 5 to 10 mph. Skies will be clear through Monday afternoon and evening.
Temperatures near the Delmarva beaches will be in the upper 70s, cooler than the D.C. area Monday.
