Winds from the northwest will be refreshing with 10-20 mph. Father’s Day will be fantastic with sunny skies with highs in the mid-80s.
The entire Washington Capitol Region will experience abundant sunshine, pleasant temperatures and low humidity.
Next week we will be dealing with a prolonged period of high heat and humidity. Highs will be in the mid-90s with overnight lows only in the 70s. In addition to the heat, there are little to no chances for rain.
If our forecast verifies and we have seven days at 94º or higher, it would be the hottest streak since 2016. We are not accustomed to heat like this as summer gets underway so plan to take it easy throughout the week. This “stale” and dry pattern could also lead to poor air quality and drought conditions.
