A look ahead
Warmer, moister air starts to stream into the area from the lower Mississippi River Valley on Saturday leading to mostly cloudy skies and the risk of a few spotty light showers. Despite that, highs should climb to the low-to-mid 60s (Reagan National Airport’s record high for the date is 68). Overnight lows settle in the mid-to-upper 40s. Confidence: Medium-High
Sunday should see more breaks in the clouds and shower chance are very low. Highs in the upper 50s and lower 60s are still a winner. It may clear enough by dusk to see the crescent moon and Saturn on the southwest horizon. Lows fall to the upper 30s to lower 40s. Confidence: Medium-High
A new storm in the Deep South starts to head our way Monday and could produce up to an inch of rain in parts of the area overnight. Clouds are thick and highs are back down to the upper 40s and low 50s. Confidence: Medium
