Thanksgiving eve at Lincoln Park, Nov. 23, 2016. (Jim Havard via Flickr) TODAY’S DAILY DIGIT A somewhat subjective rating of the day’s weather, on a scale of 0 to 10. 5/10: Clouds spare only a few drops. When will this drought stop? Ah, well, fine weekend weather to shop. EXPRESS FORECAST Today: Morning showers with persistent afternoon clouds. Highs: 52-56 Tonight: Cloudy and calm. Lows: 37-43 Tomorrow: Clouds persist, afternoon sprinkles possible. Highs: 55-59 View the current weather conditions at The Washington Post headquarters. FORECAST IN DETAIL For those traveling to grandma’s house or anywhere else today, showers are a mere nuisance. For those hoping for some real soaking rain, forget about it. The next chance for any relief to our burgeoning drought is about a week away. The weekend is a mild, dry one abetting travelers, early shoppers and those getting a jump on decorating. Today (Thanksgiving): Clouds are thick throughout the day but give only a false promise of meaningful rain. The best chance for mainly light showers is in the morning. Winds are very light from the south. Temperatures are seasonable, with highs in the low to mid-50s. Confidence: Medium-High Tonight: There will be no star gazing tonight as clouds blanket the region. This keeps frost out of the picture for most, despite calm winds with lows only in the upper 30s to lower 40s. Confidence: High |
