-	Today will be warm, sunny, and dry with above average temperatures across The District. Temperatures will reach the upper 80's to low 90's with afternoon dew points as low as 25 degrees.
-	The warming trend continues along the plains through today as an upper level ridging begins moving east. Haze will be minimal as westerly flow aloft transports a light smoke plume from West Coast wild fires into The District.
-	Conditions will remain calm under mostly clear skies tonight with overnight lows reaching the mid 50's.

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

A LOOK AHEAD: The upper-level ridge which brought unseasonably warm weather this weekend is beginning to move east as a new system develops over the intermountain west. A disturbance moving north from the Desert Southwest, coupled with the next wave moving southeast from the Pacific Northwest, will bring unsettled weather to Colorado beginning tomorrow. This system will pass over Colorado early on Tuesday, increasing chances for isolated thunderstorms and widespread showers across the foothills and adjacent plains through the end of this week. The new pattern is also expected to bring the first wave of fall temperatures to the high plains.
