Washington, DC – Residents across the Washington metropolitan area will enjoy a quieter stretch of weather overnight before summer heat returns Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service.
According to the National Weather Service Baltimore/Washington, mostly clear skies are expected overnight Monday into Tuesday, with areas of patchy fog developing around daybreak, especially in valleys and low-lying locations. Overnight lows will range from the upper 50s in the higher elevations to the mid-60s across much of the region, while downtown Washington is expected to remain in the upper 60s.
By Tuesday morning, any fog should quickly dissipate as sunshine takes over. High temperatures outside the mountains are forecast to reach the upper 80s to lower 90s under mostly sunny skies. Light winds and lower humidity will make conditions feel more comfortable than during recent stretches of oppressive heat.
Communities including Washington, Baltimore, Frederick, Hagerstown, Winchester, Leesburg, and Fredericksburg can expect dry weather throughout the day, making for favorable conditions for outdoor activities and travel.
Motorists traveling early Tuesday should be prepared for localized reductions in visibility where patchy fog develops. Otherwise, no significant weather hazards are expected through Tuesday afternoon.
The National Weather Service encourages residents to stay hydrated if spending extended time outdoors during the warmest part of the day and to continue monitoring the latest forecast for any changes later this week.
