Washington, DC – Dry and warm conditions continue through Monday across the Washington, DC, Maryland, and northern Virginia region, but forecasters warn of a midweek shift as a coastal system approaches.
According to the National Weather Service Baltimore/Washington, a coastal low-pressure system will move into the area Tuesday into Wednesday, September 16–17. This system is expected to bring beneficial rainfall, cooler temperatures, and breezy conditions across both the mountains and lowland areas.
Forecast highs remain in the upper 70s to mid-80s Sunday and Monday, with lows generally in the mid-50s to 60s. Rain chances increase Tuesday evening, with showers more likely Wednesday, when highs will drop into the upper 60s and low 70s. Mountain areas may see lows in the lower 50s.
Conditions are expected to improve by Thursday, September 18, as drier weather gradually returns. By Friday, September 19, forecasters expect a rebound in warmth, with highs again climbing into the low 80s across much of the region.
Residents in the DC metro area, along with those in surrounding counties, are advised to plan for possible midweek travel delays and outdoor disruptions due to wet and breezy conditions.
