After days of rainy and cloudy weather, the long Memorial Day weekend will be dry and filled with sunshine — with just a touch of clouds here and there.
Saturday will kick off with cooler temperatures in the upper 40s to middle 50s, with a side of gusty winds tracking in at 25 mph.
But don’t let those chilly temperature readings ruin any plans.
7News First Alert Meteorologist Steve Rudin said temperatures are forecast to climb into the low 70s before the day is out.
By Sunday, people across the region will get a bit of a break from the breezy weather, according to Rudin, who said a comfortable and less breezy afternoon is anticipated.
For Memorial Day Monday, temperatures are going to be the warmest of all three days — rising into the mid 70s.
It’s best to make the most of the rain-free weekend while you have the chance, though. Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service suggest showers are likely to strike again in the District next week.
