day. 61 in ft. belvoir. weather related slowdowns nothing to worry about today and tomorrow. back to work, school and reality, nothing to worry about there. a chance for showers coming in wednesday afternoon. could cause some brief slowdowns late in the day on wednesday. but that's days away. hour by hour, temperatures in the mid to upper 60s by 1:00. 88 at 5:00 p.m. today. so it will be sunny and hot, more humid than it's been the last couple of days as well. 86 in bowie. 90 downtown on the national mall. 88 in fairfax and 86 the high in gaithersburg today. future weather, just sunny and hot. no chance for rain anywhere in the area for the remainder of the day today. a mild start again for tomorrow morning, but high pressure moving off the eastern seaboard is going to open the floodgates to heat, haze and humidity in abundance as we get towards wednesday -- tuesday afternoon, wednesday on into thursday. so what's a little sticky outside for today, becomes uncomfortable for tuesday and wednesday for humidity levels. here is future weather through the day tomorrow, again, hot and humid. couldn't rule out an isolated shower south of town, but by and large, we don't know need to worry about rain until we get into wednesday afternoon and wednesday night. here's your seven day, one, two, three more 90 degree days. wednesday hopefully being the last of them for a while.
