Another gray day. We’ve had plenty of those lately! At least temperatures are fairly pleasant. Highs near 70 and into the low 70s are not too far from average this time of year, and I’m sure many will take this over early-season heat. Clouds are in no mood to leave, but there should not be much or any precipitation to worry about, at least through midday tomorrow.

Overall, there’s not too much to worry about this weekend weatherwise, but we may run into a few showers and maybe a rumble today. By tomorrow, that threat should wane to a very slight risk, yet we’re still going to have a frontal boundary around, so “totally dry” is not a sure bet. If you weren’t a fan of the 80s we’ve recently seen, at least a return to near normal highs is around the corner.

It doesn't look like a washout by any means, but there could be noticeable rain drops at times. Temperatures are quite comfortable though.

One of the main things I noticed about today was humidity—guess it’s that time of year. Variably cloudy skies, and a front draped across the area, led to a wide range of temperatures. Highs have only hit the 60s to the north and east, while they’re past 80 to the south and west. In the middle, D.C. has reached the 70s. So far, the risk of storms seems subdued compared to potential, and it’s possible we’ll make it through the daylight hours without much of note.
