West to southwesterly flow aloft will usher in mild and dry conditions across the District today. Temperatures will reach the low to mid 80s this afternoon under sunny skies. Mild and dry conditions are expected to continue into the evening with clear skies. Overnight temperatures will drop into the upper 40s to around 50 degrees on the plains with mid to upper 40s along the foothills.

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

A LOOK AHEAD: Similar conditions remain in place tomorrow with continued sunny, mild and dry conditions throughout the day. High temperatures will once again reach the low to mid 80s during the afternoon with low 50s overnight and into Friday. Warmer Friday as highs reach the mid to upper 80s. A very slight chance for a few showers and possibly a thunderstorm or two during the late afternoon/evening with minimal impacts expected at this time. Cooler Saturday with a good chance of off and on showers during the day, lasting into the evening hours. Storm strength will hinge on how much daytime heating occurs with high temperatures only expected to reach the upper 60s to low 70s. These cooler temperatures could potentially result in just shower activity with very little convection during the day decreasing chances for any moderate to heavy rainfall.
