Washington DC Sunday Weather: Overcast and Cool Near 62 After the Clocks Fell Back, With a Warm-Up and Rain Later This Week
Sunday stays gray and cool in Washington, with an overcast sky, a high near 62 and almost no rain, before sunshine and 70s take over midweek and rain chances climb Thursday and Friday.
Washington wakes up to an extra hour and a gray sky on Sunday. The station's live weather feed put the early-morning temperature at 48.8 degrees, feeling like 45.5, under an overcast sky, with a Sunday high of 61.5 and a low of 46.9. The chance of rain is just 2 percent, so the day's outdoor plans - from the final day of early voting to Sunday's stage finales - should stay dry.
The warm-up builds through the first half of the week. Monday reaches 65.9 under continued cloud cover, Tuesday turns mostly dry and milder at 71, and Wednesday is the week's warmest and brightest day at 73.6 with only a 5 percent rain chance, according to the feed.
The pattern breaks late in the week. Rain chances climb to 48 percent on Thursday, when the high still reaches 74.3, and stay at 48 percent on Friday as temperatures fall back to 64.5, the feed shows. Saturday cools further to 62.8 with a 34 percent rain chance, so Election Week ends unsettled after a mild middle.
