Clouds will continue to thicken Friday morning and eventually bring rain chances back later on in the evening. How close to 80° we get on Friday will depend on how early the clouds get thick enough to cut off the warming, but most areas north and west of Dulles Airport will probably stay in the low to mid-70s.
As for rain on your Friday, there could be an isolated shower or two in the morning and afternoon hours, but most of the area will remain dry at least through sunset. Rain will become more likely Friday night into Saturday morning with overnight temperatures holding in the muggy mid-60s.
Expect rain chances later morning through early evening Saturday
A cold front will reach the area Saturday afternoon so our highest rain chances will come between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. Saturday. There could even be a few rumbles of thunder Saturday afternoon as the front interacts with the warm and humid air.
Rain chances will drop behind the front very quickly. Areas along and West of the I-95 corridor will be dry after 7 p.m. Saturday , though it will take a bit longer for the rain to move out of Southern Maryland.
Dry weather returns from Sunday through Tuesday. Sunday afternoon will be sunny, breezy and cool with highs near 70°. We return to the mid-70s on Monday and at least the mid-80s for Tuesday and Wednesday.
