A somewhat subjective rating of the day’s weather, on a scale of 0 to 10.
Washington, D.C
D.C.-area forecast: Cool with showers today, then the heat is on
Today (Saturday): A shower could be around as soon as sunrise, but odds are highest from about midmorning through mid- or late afternoon. Much of the activity is light, amounting to a tenth or two of an inch where it falls the most consistently and many spots seeing less. It is the leading edge of much warmer air, but we won’t feel it yet thanks to highs in the upper 50s and low 60s. Winds may be variable, favoring from the south and southeast around 10 mph. Confidence: Medium-High
Tonight: Outside a small chance of a shower early, skies will be trending clearer through the evening and night. Temperatures are probably somewhat milder than they have been with upper 40s and low 50s for lows most places. Some patchy fog might develop late and toward dawn. Confidence: Medium-High

Tomorrow (Sunday): Patchy fog dissipates quickly with sunrise and then mostly sunny skies, plus being south of the warm front, deliver the first of a stretch of very warm ones. Afternoon readings strive for the low and mid-80s. Winds likely blow around five to 10 mph from the southwest. Confidence: Medium-High
Tomorrow night: Mostly clear skies persist. Upper 50s to lower 60s is a good range for lows, although more folks may end up 60-plus than below the mark as moisture levels tick upward. Confidence: Medium
Mostly sunny conditions should continue Monday. As hot temperatures settle in, we may be hoping for any clouds we can get. Highs are about 86 to 91 across the area, coolest well north and west or where winds are off the water. Confidence: Medium
It’s feeling a bit summerlike ahead of a cold front. Lows in the low and mid-60s Tuesday give way to morning sun and bubbling clouds into the midday. Hit-or-miss afternoon to evening showers and storms are possible, some of which could be strong to severe. Mid-80s to around 90 should do it for highs before any storm threat materializes. Confidence: Medium
