- | Today will be hot and dry, with temperatures in the upper 80's to low 90's, dewpoints in the mid 20's, across the District under mostly sunny skies. The record high for May 7th is 87 degrees, set in 1989. This record will likely be broken today. |
- | A cool front will wash over the state tonight, providing a little relief from the record-breaking heat. The frontal passage will be followed by a slight chance for isolated evening to overnight showers and thunderstorms mainly across the foothills. There is a chance a stray shower or two rolls into the District. |
- | Skies will clear by the early morning hours followed by high temperatures around 80 by tomorrow afternoon. Dewpoints are expected to fall into the low 20's, creating very dry conditions across the District. No precipitation is expected tomorrow. |
A LOOK AHEAD: A high-pressure ridging pattern over the intermountain west will create warm and dry weather across the High Plains through next week. On Sunday, temperatures will reach the upper 70's to low 80's under mostly clear skies. Monday and Tuesday will be similar, with clear skies and high temperatures around 80.
