CWG Live updates: The weather is warming up with 90 in play by Thursday
Welcome to updated around-the-clock by Capital Weather Gang meteorologists. Happening now: Not as cool this morning, but still chilly 50s for most. Sunshine, filtered by smoky haze, lifts temperatures into the 70s by midday and into the low 80s for afternoon highs. What's next? Temperatures warm into the upper 80s tomorrow and then near 90 by Thursday, with hazy skies. Thunderstorm chances return by late Friday and especially Saturday. Today's daily digit — 9/10: Sunshine is stymied by some smoky haze but today is still quite nice with low humidity, light winds and pleasantly warm low 80s. | 🤚 Your call? The digit is a somewhat subjective rating of the day's weather, on a 0-to-10 scale. Forecast in detail Today (Tuesday): It's not as cool as recent mornings — but the air is still crisp. Morning temperatures climb through the 50s and 60s and are well into the 70s by midday. Highs reach the low 80s this afternoon as humidity remains low. Winds are light and shift to come from the south at around 5 mph in the afternoon. Confidence: Medium-High 😎 Nice Day! Tonight: The evening sunset is intensified some by wildfire smoke as temperatures drift back into the 70s. Overnight lows range from the upper 50s to mid-60s under mostly clear skies and light winds from the south. You'll notice the humidity increasing slightly, but it's not too muggy yet. Confidence: Medium-High Tomorrow (Wednesday): Sunny skies and very warm as highs reach the mid- to upper 80s while humidity continues to creep up. Some smoky haze could linger as winds blow from the south at 5 to 10 mph. Confidence: Medium-High Tomorrow night: Mostly clear and a bit muggier with lows in the 60s to near 70. Confidence: Medium-High A look ahead Thursday will probably be our warmest day of the week and the year so far. Highs should reach the upper 80s while the humidity starts to become noticeable (dew points in the 60s). Some spots may touch 90 for the first time this year. Thursday night is mostly clear and muggy with lows ranging from the mid-60s to low 70s. Confidence: Medium-High Friday starts off sunny before clouds increase some in the afternoon. There's a chance of late afternoon or evening thunderstorms, especially north and west of D.C. Highs are again in the upper 80s to near 90. After any evening thunderstorms, overnight lows fall to within a few degrees of 70. Confidence: Medium A cool front on Saturday brings partly to mostly cloudy skies and a chance of thunderstorms, mainly in the afternoon and evening. It's moderately humid with highs in the low to mid-80s. Showers and storms could linger into Saturday night, especially early. Skies become partly cloudy overnight with lows slipping into the 60s. Confidence: Medium If Saturday's front can push far enough south, Sunday could be a fine day. Look for partly to mostly sunny skies, low humidity, and highs in the pleasant low 80s. Confidence: Medium Next week is forecast to start with temperatures near or slightly cooler than normal and shower chances, before temperatures rebound into the 80s to near 90 later in the week.

CWG Live updates: Heat ramps up this week, while rain is more scarce
Welcome to updated around-the-clock by Capital Weather Gang meteorologists. Happening now: We awaken to chilly upper 40s and 50s before sunshine boosts afternoon highs into the low to mid-70s. What's next? Lots of sunshine and steady warming. Highs near 80 Tuesday, 85 Wednesday and near 90 by Thursday and Friday. Today's daily digit — 9/10: Tough to beat the refreshing start and sunny 70s in the afternoon. But still, some lingering haze from wildfire smoke. | 🤚 Your call? The digit is a somewhat subjective rating of the day's weather, on a 0-to-10 scale. Forecast in detail Today (Monday): It's another unseasonably chilly start — more like October than June with temperatures in the 40s and 50s. But sunshine boosts highs to 70 to 75 degrees this afternoon, with perhaps a thin veil of haze from wildfire smoke. Winds are light from the west. Confidence: Medium-High 😎 Nice Day! Tonight: Skies are mostly clear, and it's crisp and cool. Lows slip to the mid- to upper 50s downtown with upper 40s and low 50s in our cooler areas. Confidence: Medium-High Tomorrow (Tuesday): This is a great-looking early summer day. Sunshine lifts afternoon highs into the upper 70s and low 80s. Breezes are hardly noticeable. A lone wrinkle is the possibility of some haze from intruding wildfire smoke. Confidence: Medium-High 😎 Nice Day! Tomorrow night: Mostly clear and a little less cool than previous nights. Lows settle in the 50s to near 60 downtown. Confidence: Medium-High A look ahead It feels unmistakably like summer Wednesday through Friday. The high temperature each day soars into the upper 80s to near 90, and humidity starts to become noticeable as well (dew points climb through the 60s). Overnight lows are mostly in the 60s except closer to 70 by early Friday. It's mostly dry with partly cloudy skies although we can't totally rule out a shower or storm late Thursday or Friday as humidity increases. Confidence: Medium-High Warm weather hangs around for the weekend, with highs near 90 Saturday and 80 to 85 Sunday. Saturday offers a chance of showers and storms as a cool front comes through. Sunday has a better chance to stay dry and is probably less humid after morning lows in the 60s.
