D.C.-area forecast: Summer’s hottest stretch through midweek with highs near 100

Sunday brought record highs in the upper 90s across the region, and we expect at least three more days like it.

This may be the peak day of this heat wave, when highs have a chance to hit 100 in a couple of spots. Once again, there’s little cloud cover and little breeze to ease the blazing sun. Records will probably be broken again at all three airports. Confidence: HighWednesday

may be the last day of record heat with highs again in the upper 90s to around 100. Some high clouds may finally increase late in the day. Toward evening and overnight, clouds are more numerous and we can’t rule out a shower or storm with lows in the 70s. Confidence: Medium-High, but a slow-moving cold front entering the area means more clouds and a chance of showers and storms — especially in the afternoon and evening. It’s still quite toasty, with enough sun to boost highs into the mid-90s.
