| THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2024 TODAY, HALLOWEEN:
Partly to Mostly Sunny
Highs: 79-85
Winds: Southwest 5-10 mph
Wow! This will likely be the warmest Halloween in 50 years (the high was 80 degrees on Halloween in 1974)! Plan for a sunny and warm day with highs in the low to mid 80s. We'll likely fall short of the record high of 85 degrees at DCA that was set in 1950. It's more likely we will tie or break the current record at Dulles, which is 81 degrees that we reached in 2004. Southerly winds will increase late this afternoon, so plan for a breezy and warm evening for trick-or-treating with the sun setting at 6:08 p.m.
TONIGHT:
Partly to Mostly Cloudy, Breezy
Lows: 64-69
Winds: Southwest 10-15+ mph
An approaching cold front will bring an increase in clouds during the overnight hours. The bigger story overnight will be how mild it will be! Overnight temperatures will fall into the 60s, which is where our high temperatures should be for this time of year.
FRIDAY:
Morning Clouds, Shower Chance
Then Partly Cloudy, Warm
Highs: 75-80
Winds: Northwest 5-10 mph
Clouds are likely to win the day with shower chances 7am to 1pm as a cold front moves to the east.
SATURDAY:
Mostly Sunny
Highs: 58-64
Winds: Northeast 5-10 mph
The weekend is set to start on a cool note with a mix of sun and clouds and highs around 60.
SUNDAY:
Mostly Sunny
Highs: near 65
Winds: South 5-10 mph
Daylight saving time ends early Sunday morning. With the return of standard time, the sun will rise Sunday morning at 6:38 a.m. and set at 5:05 p.m. Highs for the day will be near average for this time of year, mainly in the middle 60s.
