Weekend Windy Weather Alert: Gusts Up to 30 mph
Get ready for a breezy weekend! Strong winds are expected to gust up to 30 mph on Saturday and Sunday, impacting the Washington, D.C. area. This article will break down the forecast, highlighting what you need to know to stay safe and informed.
Saturday's Forecast: Showers and Windy Conditions
Saturday starts with morning showers, transitioning to partly cloudy skies with a chance of isolated afternoon and evening thunderstorms. Highs will reach a pleasant 75-80 degrees Fahrenheit, but don't let that fool you – southwest and northwest winds will gust up to 25 mph. The evening brings clear skies, but the breezy conditions continue with lower temperatures (43-53°F) and northwest winds of 10-20 mph.
Sunday: Windy and Cooler
Sunday will be mostly sunny but significantly cooler and windy. Expect highs in the range of 68-73°F with persistent northwest winds gusting up to 25 mph. The strong winds will continue to be a notable feature of the weekend weather. Remember to secure any loose outdoor items.
What to Watch For:
High winds are the primary concern this weekend. Secure outdoor furniture, and be aware of potential tree branches falling. While Saturday has a chance of showers and thunderstorms, Sunday will offer more sunshine despite the strong winds. Early next week temperatures are expected to rise back into the mid-85s, making this a classic rollercoaster spring weather pattern.
Staying Informed:
Stay updated with the latest weather reports from your local news channels or weather apps. Knowing the forecast will help you plan outdoor activities and take necessary precautions to minimize any disruption from the windy conditions. Remember to check for any updated alerts from your local weather office.
Allergy Alert:
Tree pollen is high, so those with allergies should take appropriate measures. Oak, pine, sycamore, and birch trees are the biggest culprits right now.
Stay safe and enjoy the weekend (even with the wind)!
