You know what they say: April showers! The D.C. region is in for a cloudy and wet weekend.
Clouds hang over the area and scattered showers are expected throughout the day Friday, with high humidity and warm temperatures in the high 60s to low 70s. Overnight, temperatures will drop to the mid-50s to low 60s, with some rain here and there.
Saturday will kick off cloudy with some pre-sunrise showers, according to 7News First Alert Senior Meteorologist Brian van de Graaff. But later in the day, we might get a break from the clouds. Those clouds clearing could help temperatures get back up to the high 70s, especially south and west of the district, van de Graaff said.
The trend continues Sunday, with a mostly cloudy sky. Showers and storms will brew as a cold front moves into our region.
