DC weather: Summerlike warmth Friday ahead of evening storms
Summerlike temperatures return to the Washington, D.C. area for one final day Friday, with highs reaching the upper 80s. Mild conditions throughout the day will be followed by a chance of showers and thunderstorms arriving in the evening.
WASHINGTON - The Washington, D.C. region will feel a final surge of summerlike warmth Friday, with high temperatures topping out in the upper 80s, near 90 degrees, before a cold front moves in brining cooler temperatures and wet weather.
Mild conditions will continue through most of the day, with showers and possible thunderstorms expected to hold off until after sunset. The cold front pushing in from the Midwest will drop temperatures and increase rain chances starting late Friday night and lasting through the weekend.
Models are unclear about Saturday, though morning showers are possible before the primary rain threat moves south. Temperatures will be significantly cooler, with scattered rain possible at times.
Wet conditions are expected to return early Sunday, making the first half of the day rainy before tapering off toward the evening. Clear, dry, and cooler weather is expected to return by Monday and stick around through next week.
