TUESDAY NIGHT: Scattered showers with patchy fog
Lows: 38-43
Winds: Light
A few showers may linger late, and patchy fog is still possible in spots. Southerly winds keep the air mild enough that temperatures stay fairly steady, still in the 40s rather than falling off sharply.

WEDNESDAY: Cloudy with scattered showers
Highs: 53-58
Winds: Southwest 5-10 mph
The warm up starts, but it comes with a noticeable north to south difference across the D.C. region. Some locations may only reach the lower 50s while others climb into the upper 60s. That dividing line is the big player, and it keeps wet weather chances in play. It may also start to feel a bit more humid as the air mass changes.

THURSDAY: Scattered showers
Highs: 58-68
Winds: Southwest 5-10 mph
Thursday brings the best chance for a real spring preview as the boundary lifts north ahead of low pressure to the west. Some areas may reach the 70s, but the spread is large, so confidence on exact highs is not great. Showers are around, and there is about a 20% chance of a thunderstorm.

FRIDAY: Partly sunny
Highs: 60s
Winds: Northeast 5-10 mph
Friday may turn trickier again if the boundary drops back south. That could set up a sharp temperature difference across the mid-Atlantic, with some spots cooling off compared to Thursday. Showers remain possible as the weather maker moves by.

WEEKEND OUTLOOK: Still much warmer than February overall, but not a clean, dry warm stretch. Plan on daily shower chances, and Saturday carries about a 20 percent thunder chance. If the warm side of the boundary wins, widespread 70s are on the table. If cooler air presses south late in the weekend, some areas may end up noticeably cooler. Details will shift, so the temperature forecast is one to keep checking.
