D.C. area forecast: In the clear until clouds/showers return Saturday night for extended stay
Search out those shades, as the sun is back through Saturday and not very high in the sky as solstice approaches in barely a week. Temperatures are reliably in the 50s through the weekend. Clouds and showers move back in by Sunday and linger through much of the next week like in-laws at the holidays!

Featured Comment
[November] had zero redeeming qualities. It was persistently and stubbornly cold, windy, not much sunshine, and yet, hardly any precipitation at all to help with the still-ongoing drought.
