The Capital Area will enjoy a few days with sunshine and pleasant temperatures as a new workweek kicks off. But closer to the weekend, rising temperatures and rain chances will signal the arrival of the next impact.
Tonight & Tomorrow: A stray shower or a few pockets a mist cannot be ruled out through the evening, but significant rain is not expected. Low clouds will hang on overnight. The combination of clouds and a northwest breeze at 10-15 mph will keep temperatures from reaching their full cooling potential. Even so, there will be a slight chill to air the air in the morning. Look for a wake-up temperature in the mid to upper-40s in the Metro Area. Dry air will flush out any leftover clouds on Monday morning leading to a mainly sunny day. The afternoon will be quite nice with a high in the low-70s along with a northwest breeze.
Up Next: Tuesday will be another pleasant day. Despite a chilly start with a low near 43°, afternoon highs will soar into the middle and upper-70s under abundant sunshine. This will mark the beginning of a warmup that lasts through the end of the week. By Thursday and Friday, expect highs to return to the middle-80s. A minor midweek disturbance will bring nothing more than a spotty shower or two late Wednesday, into Thursday.
