Title: Cooler Temperatures and Lower Humidity Expected for the Next Few Days
A somewhat subjective rating of the day’s weather, on a scale of 0 to 10.
7/10: Lower humidity is a nice treat, as we get a break from the high heat.
Today: Partly to mostly sunny, less humid. Highs: Mid- to upper 80s.
Tonight: Partly cloudy, a few showers late. Lows: Upper 60s to near 70.
Tomorrow: A few showers possible early, then partly sunny. Highs: Mid-80s.
A cold front pushes to our south today as winds from the north usher in significantly cooler and less humid air. Highs struggle to reach 90 the next several days, rather than struggling to reach 100, so that’s an improvement. Most of the time is dry with plenty of sunshine, although a few showers are possible Monday, as high pressure sticks around through midweek.
Today (Sunday): Comfortable late-July warmth replaces the extreme heat and humidity of the past few days. Temperatures head toward afternoon highs in the mid- to upper 80s, with partly to mostly sunny skies and much lower humidity (dew points in the upper 50s to near 60) thanks to a light breeze from the north. Confidence: High
Tonight: A few showers are possible after 3 a.m. Otherwise, it’s partly cloudy with lows in the upper 60s to near 70. Confidence: Medium-High

Tomorrow (Monday): Some clouds and a few showers are possible before 9 a.m. But then a partly sunny day with low to moderate humidity and highs in the mid-80s. Can’t rule out an isolated shower or thunderstorms south and east of D.C. during the afternoon. Confidence: Medium-High
Tomorrow night: Mostly clear skies during the evening and overnight with lows in the mid-60s. Confidence: Medium-High
Plenty of sunshine Tuesday and Wednesday with highs in the mid-80s. Humidity should remain rather comfortable for early August with dew points in the upper 50s to low 60s. Dry conditions hold during the nighttime hours with lows in the 60s. Confidence: Medium-High
Highs should remain in the 80s Thursday and Friday, but shower and thunderstorm chances could return as high pressure retreats and a cold front approaches.
As summer temperatures begin to cool down, the Washington D.C. area can expect several days of relief from the high heat and humidity that characterized the past few days. A cold front pushing southwards will bring in considerably cooler air from the north, with highs struggling to reach 90 degrees instead of the scorching 100.
Today, residents can enjoy a partly to mostly sunny day with lower humidity, as temperatures climb into the mid- to upper 80s. Tonight, the weather will be partly cloudy with a possibility of a few late showers, and temperatures dropping to the upper 60s to near 70.
The more comfortable warmth of late July will continue tomorrow, with clouds and a few showers possibly early in the morning. For the rest of the day, expect partly sunny skies and moderate humidity, with highs in the mid-80s. There is a chance of isolated showers or thunderstorms to the south and east of D.C. during the afternoon.
Tuesday and Wednesday will see plenty of sunshine and highs in the mid-80s, with humidity remaining comfortable for early August. Nights will be dry with temperatures in the 60s.
Looking towards the end of the week, highs are expected to stay in the 80s on Thursday and Friday. However, there is a possibility of showers and thunderstorm chances returning as high pressure retreats and a cold front approaches.
