What we know:

Cornejo says warm weather will continue into the evening. For those heading to the Nationals game against the Marlins at 6:45 p.m., temperatures will stay in the mid‑70s through the end of the game before gradually cooling overnight.

Temperatures hold in the mid‑70s Tuesday before rising again midweek. Highs are expected to reach the low to mid‑80s Wednesday and Thursday. A warming trend continues into the weekend, with a chance of showers developing late Saturday into Sunday as moisture moves in from the Northeast.

The seven‑day forecast shows summerlike heat building by Saturday, when highs are expected to reach the low 90s.
