WEDNESDAY EVENING: Areas of rain and thunder
Temperatures: 60s
Winds: South 10-15 mph
A second round of showers and thunderstorms will develop to our west late this afternoon and move toward the Appalachians early this evening. A few stronger storms are possible, mainly west of the Blue Ridge, with gusty winds as the primary concern. As activity moves east, storms should gradually weaken, with mostly showers reaching the I-95 corridor by mid to late evening. Rain totals will generally stay under half an inch.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: Lingering showers end with patchy fog possible
Lows: 48-55
Winds: South to northwest 3-8 mph
Scattered showers may linger for a while overnight as the cold front moves through. Winds will shift to the northwest behind the front, with upslope showers developing along the Alleghenies. Most areas will not see much additional rain, and a few spots may stay mainly dry. Patchy fog could develop where skies briefly clear before the northwest breeze picks up. Temperatures will settle into the 50s to near 60 degrees by daybreak.
THURSDAY: Partly cloudy
Highs: 60-65
Winds: Northwest 5-15 mph with gusts to 25 mph
Cooler air settles in Thursday behind Wednesday鈥檚 cold front, bringing a northwest breeze and a noticeably different feel compared to the warmer, more humid setup the day before. High temperatures will only reach the lower 60s, which is nearly 15 degrees below normal for mid-May. A few scattered showers may linger across the mountains, but most neighborhoods around the beltway should stay dry.
FRIDAY: Mostly sunny and breezy
Highs: Around 75
Winds: Northwest 10-20 mph
Friday brings a solid rebound as high pressure builds back into the area. Sunshine returns, humidity stays low and temperatures climb into the lower and middle 70s. It will be a comfortable finish to the workweek with pleasant weather for the morning commute, lunchtime plans and the evening ride home. It may become breezy a times.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny
Highs: 83-88
Winds: Southwest 5-10 mph
The weekend starts with a big warmup as southwest flow pushes temperatures into the lower and middle 80s across much of the beltway and surrounding suburbs. Sunshine should dominate much of the day, and while humidity inches up slightly, it still looks fairly manageable for mid May. It will feel warm, but not overly sticky. Records do not appear to be in serious jeopardy Saturday, with the Reagan National Airport record of 93 likely staying safely out of reach, although the Dulles record of 90 may end up a bit closer.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny
Highs: 85-90
Winds: Southwest 5-10 mph
Sunday brings an even warmer, early summer feel with highs climbing into the middle and upper 80s, with a few locations near 90 degrees possible. Humidity gradually increases, although much of the day still looks dry with a mix of sunshine and passing clouds. A stray late day shower or thunderstorm cannot be ruled out, but this does not appear to be a washout setup. Records currently look safe, with Reagan National needing 92 degrees and Dulles needing 93, although the warmth will likely serve as a preview of even hotter weather possible early next week.
