High pressure will dominate over the region for the next couple of days bringing mild, hot and dry conditions across the District. High temperatures will likely hit the 90s, if not today, for sure tomorrow under mostly sunny skies. Mild and dry conditions are expected throughout the day today and into the evening hours. Overnight will continue mild with lows dropping into the mid to upper 50’s for the plains with upper 40’s to low 50’s along the foothills. Similar conditions in place for tomorrow with highs expected to reach the 90’s with breezy southwesterly winds in the afternoon and early evening.

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

A LOOK AHEAD: Hot and dry as high pressure holds 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 support decreases, leading to less chances for heavy rainfall.
