A somewhat subjective rating of the day’s weather, on a scale of 0 to 10. 9/10: Subtracting one, since it’s a good deal warmer than normal. But it’s going to be really hard to complain. EXPRESS FORECAST Today: Mostly sunny. Highs: Near 70 to the mid-70s.
Tonight: Mostly clear. Lows: Mid-50s to near 60.
Tomorrow: Increasing clouds, shower possible after dark. Highs: Near 80. View the current weather conditions at The Washington Post headquarters. FORECAST IN DETAIL With average highs now in the low-to-mid-60s across the region, temperatures in the 70s today and perhaps in the 80s tomorrow might classify as hot. It’s all relative. Ten degrees or more above normal in July calls for staying indoors, but in late October, it’s an call to head outside. Today should be spectacular all around. Tomorrow, it might depend on your disposition a little more. Today (Saturday): We may see some clouds at times, largely high level if so, but sunshine wins out by a lot when the day is said and done. A warm breeze from the south and southwest around 10 mph teams up with the sunshine to boost temperatures into September-like values. Highs range from near 70 to the mid-70s. Confidence: High Tonight: A late-season outdoor dinner treat? I just might have to join you. Temperatures only slowly fall back through the 60s near and after dark. They don’t fall all that far overnight, either. Lows settle mainly into the mid-50s to near 60 under mostly clear skies. Confidence: High |
