CWG Live updates: Lots of sun and rising temperatures this weekend
Welcome to updated around-the-clock by Capital Weather Gang meteorologists. Happening now: Temperatures are up a notch today and so is humidity. Feeling more like July after a bit of a humidity break yesterday. What's next? Near and above 90 day after day ahead. A slight chance of storms early week may grow by Wednesday. Today's daily digit — 7/10: Pretty standard for early July, but humidity is still on the lower than usual side. | 🤚 Your call? The digit is a somewhat subjective rating of the day's weather, on a 0-to-10 scale. Forecast in detail Today (Saturday): We stick with lots of sun. A light south wind is beginning to bring in some humidity again, but not too bad. 86 to 91 for highs. Gusts around 10 mph. Confidence: Medium-High Tonight: Skies remain largely clear. Evening is fairly pleasant, with about 80 near sunset. Mid-60s to near 70 for lows. Confidence: Medium-High Tomorrow (Sunday): Mostly sunny skies persist. Temperatures are similar to today, perhaps a degree or so higher, with mainly upper 80s to low 90s a good bet. Humidity is closing in on high by late day, which adds at least 5 degrees to the heat index. Confidence: Medium-High Tomorrow night: Humidity is back in full swing so that means readings don't dip much overnight. Lows range across the 70s. Confidence: Medium-High A look ahead Right around 90 again on Monday as high humidity hangs on. We could see a few late day storms, though most spots look to stay dry. Confidence: Medium Similar Tuesday. It should be another 90 or higher in the city and most spots nearby. A chance of late-day storms again, but probably more on the miss than hit side. Confidence: Medium A front gets a bit closer by midweek which may up the odds of rain by Wednesday or Thursday. Highs remain near average, which is 90.

CWG Live updates: Showers linger this morning, then drying out in time for the Fourth
Welcome to updated around-the-clock by Capital Weather Gang meteorologists. Happening now: Morning showers, maybe some thunder, linger longest southeast of D.C. Partial sunshine emerges this afternoon with highs in the low to mid-80s. What's next? Mostly sunny tomorrow, though can't totally rule out a late-day shower. Finally it looks like a clean break in rain chances Friday through Sunday, including a mostly sunny Fourth. Today's daily digit — 5/10: It's enough already with the lingering morning showers, and we can't totally shake the shower chance this afternoon either. | 🤚 Your call? The digit is a somewhat subjective rating of the day's weather, on a 0-to-10 scale. Forecast in detail Today (Wednesday): Showers and maybe a few thundershowers continue this morning, lingering the latest southeast of D.C. Still humid this afternoon, with just an isolated shower possible, as skies turn partly sunny and highs reach the low to mid-80s. Winds are mainly light and variable in direction. Confidence: Medium Tonight: After the chance of an isolated evening shower, skies trend mostly clear overnight with lows in the mid-60s to low 70s. Confidence: Medium Tomorrow (Thursday): Mostly sunny with highs in the upper 80s to low 90s. Humidity is lower than the previous several days, but still moderate with dew points in the mid-60s. And there's just enough moisture in the air for the chance of an isolated shower or thunderstorm in the late afternoon. Winds are light from the northwest and west. Confidence: Medium-High Tomorrow night: Still an isolated shower possible during the evening. Overnight lows settle in the mid-60s to low 70s under mostly clear skies. Confidence: Medium-High A look ahead Drier air takes over more forcefully Friday (the Fourth) through Sunday. All three days should be mostly sunny with highs in the mid-80s to near 90 Friday and Saturday, and upper 80s to low 90s on Sunday. The humidity trends lower Friday, but then is back to moderate to high Saturday and Sunday. Friday night and Saturday night lows dip to the mid-60s to near 70. Confidence: Medium-High Looking at early next week, storm chances may enter back into the picture by Monday, and if not then probably by Tuesday. Highs should still be within a few degrees of 90.
