Forecast in detail Showers pass by quickly this morning, setting up a warm and dry afternoon. But rain returns on Friday — lasting most of the day — with gusty winds and much cooler temperatures to boot. The weekend is a dandy, though, with clearing skies and highs in the 50s — pretty typical for March. Today (Thursday): Showers starting before sunrise taper off by midmorning. As the day progresses, breezes from the southwest draw in warm air, so despite considerable cloud cover, highs reach the upper 60s.

Tomorrow (Friday): A "wedge" of cold air is stuck in the lee of the Appalachians throughout the day, while gusty winds from the east keep temperatures from rising more than a few degrees. Daytime highs only reach the low 40s. A big storm over the Midwest is expansive enough to spread showers across the area, with rain totals likely to range from a half-inch to an inch. Confidence: Medium-High Tomorrow night: Showers gradually taper off during the evening. That wedge of cold air could possible scour out briefly overnight, allowing readings to rise to near 50, but lows are back to the low 40s by dawn. Confidence: Medium-High Mostly cloudy with showers along the Anacostia River on Monday.
