Washington DC Monday Weather: Overcast at 66.7 Opens Election Week, and Tonight Falls to 45 (Washington Sentinel News)

Election week opens grey and mild. The station's live weather feed read 51.4 degrees and clear on Sunday night, feeling like 47.4, at the end of a day that topped out at 65.3. Monday carries an overcast code from start to finish: a high of 66.7, an overnight low of 45 - revised a touch milder than the coldest-night reading the feed carried on Sunday evening - and a precipitation chance of just 3 percent.

Election Day itself keeps the two-part shape the feed has shown all weekend. Tuesday carries a fog code for the morning hours, then a high of 71.3 with a low of 44.1 and a precipitation chance of 2 percent - fog first for the earliest voters, warmth behind it. Wednesday remains the week's peak: overcast at 74.1 degrees, with a mild low of 56.7 and rain chances still only 3 percent.

The unsettled end of the week is unchanged. Thursday carries a rain-shower code at 64.8 degrees with a low of 62.1 and a precipitation chance of 48 percent. Friday reads overcast at 67.8, though its precipitation chance of 51 percent is the week's highest, and Saturday turns clear and cooler at 59.4, with rain chances easing to 30 percent.
