A near picture perfect August day is on tap for us all today. We can all look forward to sunshine, low humidity, and high temperatures reaching about 81 degrees. A couple of refreshingly cool mornings await us as well both today and tomorrow.

As high pressure builds in from the Ohio Valley, tonight will certainly feel more like autumn than mid-August. Forecast lows are mainly in the 50s to low 60s, with even some upper 40s along the Alleghenies! Skies remain clear overnight along with less wind #VAwx #DCwx #MDwx #WVwx pic.twitter.com/O1e2ESz5so

Sunday is expected to be somewhat warmer with temps reaching the mid to upper 80’s.

The price we pay for a simply beautiful weekend is the shocking return of hot air on Monday. We could reach the low to mid 90’s.
