A sunny and warm Friday, storms likely on Saturday and a slight chance of showers Sunday.
WASHINGTON - Friday brings sunny, warm conditions with highs in the low 80s, but the quiet weather will be short‑lived as showers and storms move in late tonight and through Saturday.
A cold front that delivered Thursday’s severe weather has cleared the region, allowing bright sunshine for most of Friday before clouds increase this evening.
Saturday starts with a chance of showers through midday, followed by additional storms by the afternoon and then another round of storms closer to sunset. Highs will fall slightly into the upper 70s to low 80s with more cloud cover.

An area of low pressure along the East Coast will keep showers nearby through Saturday before conditions improve in time for Sunday, when only a slight chance of showers remains.
Early Saturday morning could bring scattered showers, but the day will not be a washout. Outdoor plans may need a backup option, especially before noon. Sunshine breaking through in the afternoon may help fuel storms later in the day before the system moves out overnight.
The weekend splits between unsettled weather on Saturday and improving conditions on Sunday. Monday’s back‑to‑school forecast looks nice, with sunshine and highs near 83 degrees. Dry weather continues Tuesday before storm chances return midweek.
