- | A high-pressure ridge is forming over the region and will remain in place over the next couple of days. This ridge will lead to dry condition across the District throughout the day today. |
- | High temperatures will reach the low to mid 80's on the plains with mid to upper 70's along the foothills under mostly sunny skies. |
- | Overnight will be mild as temperatures drop into the low to mid 50's with clear skies. |
A LOOK AHEAD: Temperatures only increase into the mid to upper 80's tomorrow as high-pressure builds over the region with continued dry conditions. Flat out hot Saturday as temperatures hit 90 degrees for the first time this year! A slight chance Saturday afternoon and evening for scattered rain showers/thunderstorms, although the biggest threat will be gusty winds and some lightning as any precipitation will struggle to reach the ground.
