DC weather: First taste of summer-like warmth today, upper 80s with cloudy skies
ARLINGTON, Va . (7News) — Low temperatures Saturday morning barely dropped below the average high for this time of year, which is 70 degrees. This very warm air mass is due to a southwesterly wind ushering in warm, muggy air from the Gulf. This will also lead to a very warm, summer-like day today.
High temperatures will stay well above-average in the middle to upper 80s under mostly cloudy skies.
