Rainy Easter Sunday and Cooler Week Ahead in DC Easter Sunday will bring a shift in weather conditions for Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Northern Virginia, with rain moving in by mid-morning and temperatures dropping significantly. The National Weather Service has issued a forecast highlighting the transition from warm, dry conditions to a wetter, windier day as a strong cold front moves through the region. While the day will start with dry weather, particularly after Saturday’s record-breaking high of 85 degrees, rain is expected to arrive by mid-morning, bringing steady showers that will last until late afternoon. Drier conditions will return in the late afternoon and early evening, but the cold front will leave a lasting impact on temperatures and wind patterns. The cold front will bring cooler air, with temperatures falling throughout the afternoon and evening. Wind speeds will also increase, with gusts reaching up to 20 to 30 miles per hour. This shift will result in a noticeable drop in temperatures, with overnight lows expected to fall into the 30s and 40s. The cooler air will persist through the first half of the workweek, particularly in the mornings, but a return to warmer temperatures is anticipated by the weekend. The forecast for the following days shows a mix of sunny and partly cloudy conditions, with temperatures gradually rising as the week progresses. Monday will feature mostly sunny skies with high temperatures in the low 60s. Tuesday is expected to be similarly mild, with mostly sunny conditions and high temperatures in the low to mid-50s. A period of dry, sunny weather with above-average temperatures will return just in time for the weekend, providing a contrast to the cooler week ahead.#national_weather_service #maryland #washington_d_c #storm_team4 #northern_virginia
