Southwesterly flow aloft will dominate over the region today bringing hot, windy and dry conditions across the District. High temperatures will once again hit the 90’s in some spots today under mostly sunny skies. Mild and dry conditions to start the day, with winds picking up into the afternoon, peaking between 30-40mph from the SW with winds decreasing significantly after sunset. Overnight will be mild with lows dropping into the mid to upper 50’s for the plains with low to mid 50’s along the foothills. Similar conditions in place for tomorrow with highs expected to reach mid to upper 80’s with breezy southwesterly winds during the day, ahead of the next disturbance moving into the region Thursday through Friday.

STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: No precipitation is expected today and this evening.

A LOOK AHEAD: Hot and dry as high pressure hold through Wednesday. A very slight chance late Wednesday for a few scattered high-based rain showers/isolated thunderstorms. However, most if not all precipitation will struggle to reach the surface. A better chance for showers/thunderstorms Thursday as a disturbance moves through the region. An uptick in overall moisture, combined with upper-level support will likely result in at least a LOW chance for heavy rainfall Thursday. Similar conditions remain in place Friday, although upper-level shifts northwesterly, leading to less chances for heavy rainfall as storms expected to increase in speed during the day and into the evening Friday.
