Comment

A somewhat subjective rating of the day’s weather, on a scale of 0 to 10.

9/10: Weather won’t worry us as we gobble away on this holiday.

  • Today: Mostly sunny. Highs: 55-60.
  • Tonight: Turning cloudy. Lows: 40-46.
  • Tomorrow: Mostly cloudy with showers. Highs: 54-59.

Perfectly pleasant Thanksgiving weather graces the Washington area today thanks to a hearty slice of high pressure. But, as attention turns to holiday shopping, the first of two weather systems arrives for Friday. Sandwiched between the two systems is a pleasant Saturday. Then the second storm system arrives Sunday with more rain.

Today (Thursday): Mostly sunny and slightly warmer than normal with highs in the mid-50s to near 60. Very light and variable winds are also pleasant, with just no real weather excuses to not get outside and burn off excess calories. Confidence: High

Tonight: Clouds increase ahead of the first weather system, but it should stay dry overnight as lows range through the 40s. Light winds from the south. Confidence: High
