After a nice morning, clouds took over for much of the day. This helped keep temperatures from rising too high. Right around 60 did it for most spots, and it feels quite cool after an April that is running near the warmest on record. Warmer air should make another try tomorrow, and some raindrops may fall, as well.

Through Tonight: A round or two of showers is possible tonight. They won’t amount to much and should focus north overall. Other than that, mostly cloudy skies. Lows largely fall into the 50s. Some patchy fog is also a risk late night into early morning as winds go light and moisture levels rise.

Tomorrow (Tuesday): It initially looked as if we would have an easy run into the 80s, but clouds now appear rather numerous and some showers or storms may roll by, as well. This may help to keep temperatures down. For now, let’s say highs aim for the upper 70s and low 80s. This could still change, depending on rain and cloud odds, so check back in the morning! A storm threat may develop late if we do see enough sun and warmth, and damaging winds or hail may be the main threats.

Pushing 90? Thursday could be legitimately hot. Some forecast info has suggested that D.C. might reach or surpass 90 for the first time this year. Although it would be a little early if it does, it’s not that early. The average over the past 30 years for the first 90-degree day is May 15. In that same period, the earliest was April 6 in 2010, and June 24 was the latest, in 2003.
