Prediction in-depth:
This Easter weekend, the D.C. region may anticipate primarily clear skies, with a larger likelihood of showers on Saturday than on Sunday. On both days, though, the majority of the day should stay dry. Heavy rains might not arrive till early next week.
Today (Friday): Sunshine in the morning will be followed by brisk breezes in the afternoon, with a chance of a light sprinkle. Northwest winds might gust as high as 35 mph. The skies will mostly stay clear with temperatures approaching 60 degrees, even with the possibility of clouds. There’s a chance that the minor wind chill will require a jacket. (Medium-High Confidence)
Tonight: As temperatures drop to the mid-30s to low-40s, winds will soon pick up and become almost quiet before morning. Until clouds begin to gather closer to daybreak, the skies will be mainly clear. Early risers might be able to see Antares, a brilliant star, and the moon side by side. (Medium-High Confidence)
Tomorrow (Saturday): There will be more clouds and a chance of a stray shower in the afternoon or midday. Showers are more likely in the evening, and closer to sunset, there is a potential of a stronger downpour. It is predicted to get as high as the upper 50s to low 60s. (Belief Level: Moderate)
Tomorrow Night: The chances of rain will decrease throughout the evening, with partly overcast skies, particularly after midnight. A heavier downpour is expected in the vicinity of sunset. The highs will gradually drop into the upper 40s and lower 50s. (Belief Level: Moderate)
On Sunday, April Easter, expect partly cloudy, warm weather with a chance of showers. The mid-60s to 70s could be the high temperature, and there might be sporadic 20 mph northwest winds. (Belief Level: Moderate)
Sunday Night: There will be more clouds and a greater likelihood of showers, especially by midnight. By daybreak, a more consistent rain is possible. Lows during the night may momentarily drop into the upper 40s or lower 50s. (Belief Level: Moderate)
Monday and Tuesday: Breezy conditions, showers, rain, and maybe thunderstorms are predicted. Although exact high temperatures are still unknown, they may be in the 50s on Monday and 60s or higher on Tuesday. Forecasts regarding temperature could be greatly impacted by modifications to the timing and intensity of rain. Keep abreast on the most recent advancements. (Low-Medium Confidence)
