FRIDAY EVENING:
Isolated strong storms until 8PM
Temps: 71-79
Winds: West 5-10 mph
The Storm Prediction Center has the D.C. area in the Level 1 out of 5 ‘Marginal’ risk category, so one or two storms could produce damaging wind gusts and heavy downpours. It is trending drier for your Friday night plans with warm and muggy conditions expected.

FRIDAY NIGHT:
Mostly to partly cloudy
Lows: 67-72
Winds: Light & variable
Mainly dry weather is expected overnight, as temperatures fall into the upper 60s in the suburbs to low 70s in the city. Areas of patchy fog are possible.

TOMORROW:
Partly to mostly cloudy; chance PM rain, storms
Highs: 83-88
Winds: North 5-10 mph
Muggy conditions persist ahead of a cold front that will bring a chance for showers and storms during the afternoon and evening hours, so keep an eye on live radar. Overall, plan for more clouds than sun with highs in the 80s for your Saturday plans. It is trending drier at night for the Alexandria & USA Birthday Celebration and fireworks display.

SUNDAY:
Partly cloudy, hazy skies
Highs: 82-87
Winds: East 5-10 mph
You’ll feel the change for the second half of the weekend, as less humid air settles into the region. Plan for hazy skies with a few clouds. It will be more comfortable with lower humidity and high temperatures in the 80s. There is a chance for showers over the Shenandoah Valley where the front stalls, so keep that in mind if your weekend plans take you to the mountains.

NEXT WEEK:
Very pleasant weather will kick-off next week, but a building heat wave will bring the returns of high temperatures in the 90s starting Tuesday through Friday (upper 90s Wednesday and Thursday). Fortunately, this next heat wave won’t be anywhere near as extreme as the last one.
