We declared summer over in late August — and we’re still standing by it. Sure, a few hot days have showed up and it's looking quite humid late this week. But, overall, fall has been in control. Our full defense 👉 cwg.live 📸: @rivergirl202.bsky.social

It's a pleasant Monday morning here on the #CoffeeBearBalcony high above Beautiful Downtown #DupontCircle. #dcwx #wusa9weather. @capitalweather.bsky.social @popville.bsky.social

Snow potential index, 0/10 (→): Three months until winter. The snow potential index is an assessment of the potential for at least 1 inch of snow in the next week, on a 0-to-10 scale.

Gorgeous sunrise to start off the new week. It's also officially the first day of fall! Our detailed forecast for the week ahead and more at cwg.live

Slowly a bit clearer in our CWG.Live forecast for tonight into Monday. A decent first official day of fall tomorrow! Rain chances rise Tuesday and Wednesday. Also, a tropics🌀update. Photo by Brian Paeth via Flickr

D.C.’s average high temperature, based on the period from 1991 to 2020, fell to 79 degrees Saturday and will remain below 80 until May 28 next year. In a month, the average high will be 68. In three months, it will be 47. Winter is coming.

A chance of a shower was in the forecast Saturday afternoon, but it turned into much more than that in parts of Prince George's County. Some spots around Greenbelt saw over 1.5" of rain. More on what happened at cwg.live

We say buh-bye 👋 to summer today (Sunday), and hello to fall 🍂 tomorrow! Neither day is particularly eventful weather-wise. But then daily rain chances are with us Tuesday through at least Friday. Plan your week with our full forecast at cwg.live (Photo by Ian Will)

Clammy and cloudy at times in our latest CWG.Live forecast. A slight chance for a shower or drizzle tonight into Sunday morning before sun tries to brighten afternoon skies. Allergen update also posted! Photo by Ian Will via Flickr

1pm: Radar shows some isolated pop-up showers out there, mainly on the east side of town. Could see a few more of these in parts of the region through the afternoon.

It feels GREAT out there on this Saturday. But enjoy it while it lasts. Daily rain chances return Tuesday this week, with 1–2" possible and humidity back on the rise. 🌦️ Full outlook: cwg.live

D.C. posted a high of 90 today, the 36th time reaching that mark (or higher) this year. The 36 days are 3 behind the norm to date. It’s improbable, but not out of the question, that we’ll see 90 again this year. The latest it has ever hit 90 is Oct. 11. Updated weekend forecast at cwg.live

🌤️ Weekend preview: Mostly pleasant with highs in the 70s thanks to ocean breezes. But those same breezes could bring clouds and shower/mist chances. Odds of more than a tenth of an inch? Pretty slim. Details on when you could get wet 👉 cwg.live

Moon, Venus and Regulus rising on my way to work. @capitalweather.bsky.social

Wednesday digit: 6/10 - Clouds, some showers and a cool breeze. You might say a '6′ is too high, but any extra rain is a plus since it’s been so dry. Latest forecast (hint: ☀️ returning) and radar at: cwg.live Enjoy this pic of the Francis Asbury Memorial in Northwest DC by angela n.

Waves of rain through tonight. This latest one dropped a quick half inch on DC, lowering visibility to 1 mile. Take it slow with the evening commute. Forecast and nowcast updates at cwg.live.

Tuesday digit — 5/10: Send in the frowns for those who hate this showery and windy weather, but step right up for those who want beneficial rain and feel that heat is a pain. Rainfall looks to vary today from not much N&NW to a quarter-inch or more S&SE. Full forecast: cwg.live

How rainy Tuesday-Wednesday? That will likely vary depending on where you are in the DC region. Details and full forecast through the weekend: cwg.live

Dry or drier than dry just about everywhere the past two months. DC area running about 35-65% normal in that timeframe. Rain will help situation some, but maybe not much to the north and west. Details and forecast update at cwg.live.

Coastal storm threatens heavy rain, gusty winds and flooding this week both at the Maryland and Delaware beaches, and along the Mid-Atlantic coast in general. Details: cwg.live

Good thing we're not trying to predict snow Tues-Thurs. Model forecasts for rain vary from 0.1 to 1.5" for the Beltway area. Best estimate right now: 0.5-0.75" Heaviest amounts southeast of DC, decreasing to NW. Details on this tricky rain forecast at cwg.live

Another great day to be outdoors. A bit warmer than yesterday many spots -- that trend continues through tomorrow. Forecast: www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2025...

About perfect as we kick off the weekend. Temperatures fall through the 70s till about 8 or 9 pm, then lows 52-61. Tons of sun and warmer temps ahead. Forecast update at cwg.live 📸angela n./Flickr

Remember how a sneaky coastal low pressure gave the DC area dreary skies and showers on Wednesday amid an otherwise mostly sunny week? Well, some models are hinting at a similar situation at some point between Tuesday and Thursday next week. But it's not a done deal. More info: cwg.live

Our region is chock-full of spotted lanternflies. National Weather Service radar is detecting them yet again today. Stomp them!

So many spotted lanternflies are out right now, you can see it on radar in the DC area and across the Mid-Atlantic. More details: cwg.live
