D.C.-area forecast: Heat advisory today and even hotter this weekend [View all]

Saturday and Sunday see highs in the upper 90s, possibly even hitting 100.

Express forecast

Today: Mostly sunny, widely scattered p.m. storms possible. Highs: 94 to 98.
Tonight: Evening storms possible, then clearing. Lows: 69 to 75.
Tomorrow: Sunny, humid, light breeze. Highs: 93 to 97.

Forecast in detail

Our count of 90-degree days is going to keep ticking up over the next week, while reaching 100 is not out of the question. Storm threats are minor over the next few days, so if you can stand the heat, outdoor activities are mostly a go. Monday presents the highest chance of significant rain.

Today (Thursday): Temperatures rise in a hurry, and while sunshine dominates, clouds start to bubble up in the afternoon. Isolated to scattered showers/storms are possible, especially south of town in the afternoon and into evening. Any storms that do form could be locally intense. Highs reach the mid- to upper 90s. Humidity is high (dew points near 70), making it feel like 100 to 105 degrees. If you’re outside, be sure to hydrate and take breaks. Southwest breezes are light. Confidence: High

Tonight: Some storms could linger into the evening, but after sunset, things quiet down and skies clear. Lows will be mainly in the low to mid-70s. Confidence: High

((Already about 80 here in southern MD, hence I woke to turn the a/c on.))
