Washington D.C. locals are in for a mix of sizzling sun and potential spring showers this week, according to the latest weather forecast. Reports that today will be sunny with temperatures climbing to a high near 92 degrees—a warm spring welcome for the Capital. Winds are expected to stay a calming whisper, turning to the southwest at around 6 mph in the afternoon, as per the National Weather Service.

As the sun sets, the clear sky will gently give way to a mild night, with a low around 66 degrees. However, come Tuesday, Washingtonians should be prepared to slightly begin to rummage through their closets for umbrellas, as the forecast hints at a slight chance of afternoon showers and possible thunderstorms post-5pm. "A slight chance of showers between 2pm and 5pm, then a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms after 5pm," was today's reported prediction, with chances of precipitation at a cool 20 percent.

The mid-week outlook doesn’t stray far from Tuesday's temperamental weather. While the day is pegged to be mostly sunny with a high near 81, thunderstorms might also roll in post-2pm, keeping the chance of precipitation constant at 40 percent. It appears that Wednesday night skies will clear up, promising visibility to the stars with a low around 59 degrees.

Warmth is expected to persist through to the week's end with Thursday and Friday both flaunting highs in the low 80s and party cloudy nights. Yet again, residents may need to keep their rain gear at arm’s reach with "a chance of showers" making a comeback Friday night at a 30 percent probability. "Mostly cloudy, with a low around 60," describes the lead into a weekend that keeps to the pattern of possible rain showers and highs tapering off to the mid-70s.
