After a weak cold front swept through the District overnight, temperatures will be a 7-10 degrees cooler today after DIA hit a record 93°F yesterday afternoon. The ridge of high pressure that is still lingering over the desert southwest has a tiny bit of moisture trapped under it, and a few isolated showers could form in the southern high country of Colorado today, but the District will continue to be dry. Some puffy clouds will meander through the area throughout the day, and skies will clear overnight while temperatures drop into the upper 50s. |
A LOOK AHEAD: One final push of late season heat will arrive this weekend, with another solid chance for 90° District-wide on Sunday. Another warm morning will greet us Monday before a cold front passes in the mid afternoon, which will set in place fall-like conditions for the beginning of October. Dry conditions are expected to persist for the foreseeable future.
