WASHINGTON - A sunny and hot Tuesday for the Washington, D.C. region, with temperatures climbing into the low 90s and humidity increasing as the area prepares for a return of extreme heat later this week.
Morning temperatures sit in the 60s and low 70s, for a refreshing start thanks to low humidity and light winds. High pressure overhead will keep rain and storms away, setting up a dry stretch through at least Thursday.
Tuesday marks the first day of the week to reach the 90s, slightly hotter and a bit more humid than Monday. FOX 5’s Taylor Grenda expects Wednesday to be the hottest day, with temperatures nearing triple digits and heat indices potentially topping 105 degrees. A Heat Advisory could be possible on Wednesday and Thursday.
Friday remains hot and humid, with a chance for a pop‑up storm in the evening. Storms will become more likely over the weekend, helping to break the heat.
