Washington DC Monday Midday Weather: Overcast at 63, Fog for Election Day, and the Week's Warmest Day Thursday at 77
The capital sits under overcast skies at 63 degrees at midday Monday; the station feed puts fog on Election Day morning before a 71-degree afternoon, a warmer 75 on Wednesday, and a summer-like 77 on Thursday before drizzle and a cooler weekend.
Washington's last day before the election is a gray one. The station's live weather feed read 63.1 degrees under overcast skies at midday Monday, feeling like 60.1, on the way to a high of 66 with only a 5 percent chance of precipitation. Tonight falls to 43.9 — the coldest night of the week — under the same gray cover.
Election Day itself starts in fog. The feed carries a fog code for Tuesday with a low of 45.2, so early voters heading to the polls before sunrise should expect a murky start; the fog gives way to a mild afternoon high of 71.1, and the rain chance stays at just 2 percent — weather is not expected to be a factor in turnout on the numbers the feed shows now.
The warm-up continues behind the election. Wednesday is also fog-coded early, then climbs to 75.2, and Thursday is the week's warmest day at 77.5 — with a much milder low of 64.4 — though the warmth comes with light drizzle and the week's highest precipitation chance at 49 percent. Friday keeps the drizzle at 45 percent with a high of 69.2.
The weekend turns cooler and unsettled at the edges: Saturday is overcast at 59.4 with a 32 percent precipitation chance, and Sunday brings light drizzle and 61.6. The Weather Desk keeps the /weather page true against this same live feed, and the next outlook file will update the Election Day fog picture as the morning models come in.
