PM Update: Slight chance of rain into evening; Thursday brings warm sunshine

With the cold front to our east, we’ve been graced with somewhat cooler air today and highs only in the 80s everywhere! Some clouds have helped dampen that late-summer sun as well. A little disturbance pushing through the region has set off some showers and storms, mainly north, south and west of us, but we may still see a few yet before the day is done.

While today’s temperatures might end up a little above normal, particularly in D.C. itself, the lower levels of humidity and a little cloudiness have made it a pretty comfortable one out there.

In a break from the recent norm around here, today’s temperatures should not reach 90. This is thanks to a slow-moving cold front finally moving through the area. Behind it, we get a bit of a taste of cooler times to come, but it won’t be enough for many, and it won’t last as long as we’d hope. After a savory Sunday, heat and humidity come wandering back heading into the work week.
