Washington DC Monday Weather: Overcast at 67 Opens Election Week, Wednesday Peaks at 75.4, and Thursday Turns to Rain
Monday dawned at 46 degrees and overcast. Election Day keeps its fog code at 70.6 with rain chances down to 2 percent, Wednesday's 75.4 is the week's high, and Thursday's forecast changed overnight - a rain code and a high of 70.6, nearly six degrees warmer than Sunday's feed showed.
Election week opens grey and cool. The station's live weather feed read 46 degrees and overcast early Monday, feeling like 42.9, on the way to a Monday high of 67.1 with an overnight low of 45.4 and a precipitation chance of 3 percent - an overcast code from start to finish, for a day when much of the District is out of school and the last full day of campaigning runs underneath the clouds.
Election Day's shape did not change, but its edges did. Tuesday still carries the fog code for its early hours - the part the earliest voters and poll workers will meet - ahead of a high of 70.6 and a low of 46.3, while its precipitation chance eased to 2 percent in the morning feed. Wednesday then becomes the week's warmest day, overcast at 75.4 with a low of 57 - a peak revised up from the 74.1 the feed carried late Sunday.
The end of the week changed the most overnight. Thursday's code moved from rain showers to rain outright, and its high was revised up nearly six degrees to 70.6, with a low of 61.2 and a 45 percent precipitation chance. Friday now carries a drizzle code at 67.7 with rain chances of 47 percent, Saturday carries the same code and turns much cooler at 56.2, and Sunday stays unsettled at 62 - a wetter, cooler weekend behind the warm middle of election week.
