Lower Humidity Brings Relief, but Heat Persists in the Forecast

Today, the weather in Washington D.C. was a little less humid compared to the previous day, thanks to Sunday’s cold front. However, the relief from humidity did not bring much cooler temperatures. Instead, temperatures remained on the warm side of the forecast, with most areas reaching the mid-80s to near 90 degrees.

Despite the lack of cooler temperatures, there is some good news on the horizon. The lower humidity that we experienced today is expected to continue for the next couple of days. However, as Washington D.C. residents know, the humidity is never gone for long in this area.

Tonight, the weather will be fairly pleasant, with temperatures dropping into the upper 70s near and after sunset. Skies are expected to stay clear overnight, with lows settling in the upper 60s to low 70s.

Looking ahead to tomorrow, Tuesday, we can expect lots of sunshine with few and fleeting clouds. Temperatures will rise, reaching near 90 to the low 90s. However, the humidity will remain on the low side for this time of year, with dew points in the 50s. Winds will blow from the west around 5 to 10 mph.

The forecast for the rest of the week is not as pleasant. We are facing what seems to be the hottest stretch of the year so far. The Weather Service predicts temperatures of 90 degrees or above starting on Tuesday and continuing into the late weekend. Weather modeling even suggests that this hot weather may persist beyond the weekend. This is typical for a city with an average daily high of 90 degrees for much of July.
