Washington D.C. residents woke up to overcast skies and a damp chill this morning. However, according to the National Weather Service (NWS), the sun will break through as the day progresses. The NWS forecasts that clouds will dissipate, bringing a clear and sunny day with highs reaching the mid-80s. They predict a mostly cloudy start, followed by gradually increasing sunshine and light winds accompanying the rising temperatures.

As per usual, the nighttime brings a shift, albeit a subtle one—you can expect mostly clear skies with temperatures dropping to the mid-60s. The National Weather Service states tonight's conditions will hover around a cool 64 degrees, with just a whisper of wind from the southwest.

Looking ahead, the forecast for Monday is nothing short of stellar for those basking in the early summer heat. A sunny sky will stay parked overhead, reaching a high near 91 degrees. It's a calm wind situation, becoming a gentle westerly breeze in the afternoon, as per National Weather Service. Monday night promises consistent conditions, boasting a mostly clear sky and the South wind making a mild 6 mph appearance.

However, while working through the week, a bit of unsettled weather nudges its way into the picture. Tuesday sets up a mixed bag with "a chance of showers between 2pm and 5pm, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms after 5pm," according to NWS. It's a day of mostly sunny skies until it's not, with highs still playing in the high-80s but bringing a 30% chance of precipitation along for the ride.

Wednesday drops the daytime highs down to around 80 and nudges up the likelihood of showers. The National Weather Service says there's "a chance of showers after 8am," keeping it partly sunny when you're not ducking droplets. Come nighttime, the clouds will part ways, albeit briefly, with the mercury dipping to the upper 50s.

The latter half of the week hedges its bets on the light, with mostly sunny skies for Thursday and Friday. But don't get too cozy—the forecast teases with the threat of rain Friday night, laying down odds at 40%. The weekend echoes this indecision, marking Saturday with "a chance of showers" and a high in the low 80s, as per the National Weather Service report.
