WASHINGTON, D.C. – Sunshine will dominate Washington skies Wednesday, August 27, with temperatures holding near the upper 70s. After a stretch of unsettled conditions earlier this month, the region is entering a calm pattern that could define Labor Day Weekend plans.
According to the National Weather Service, Wednesday will stay bright and breezy, with highs near 78 degrees and northwest winds around 5 mph. Skies remain mostly clear overnight into Thursday, keeping travel across the Capital Beltway and I-395 trouble-free for morning commuters.
Thursday brings highs near 82 with light winds, followed by partly cloudy skies overnight. Drivers and holiday travelers can expect no weather disruptions heading into the weekend. Friday continues the trend with highs around 80 and mostly sunny skies, offering a perfect setup for early Labor Day getaways.
Saturday and Sunday hold near-ideal late-summer conditions. Saturday will be sunny with highs in the mid-70s, while Sunday climbs back to 80. Outdoor gatherings, festivals, and cookouts across the DMV face little weather risk through the holiday.
Labor Day itself continues the streak with mostly sunny skies and highs near 78, capping off what looks to be one of the most favorable holiday weekends of the summer.
