Foggy Memorial Day Morning in the D. C. Area

The first light of Memorial Day arrives wrapped in a thick blanket of mist that can shrink visibility to just a few hundred feet. Local warnings say the fog will linger until nine in the morning, making early drives and parts of the city parade tricky. Drivers are urged to keep their low beams on to see better in these damp conditions. By mid‑afternoon, the sky will clear enough for some sunshine to break through, though scattered showers might still fall. A warm front moving in could spark a few thunderstorms later in the day, so residents should stay alert for sudden rain.Throughout the evening, clouds will stay low and the air remains humid, even though temperatures are expected to dip into the 60s. The moisture will keep the atmosphere feeling sticky, and a brief dry spell could appear only toward nightfall. Weather experts predict that the unsettled pattern will continue into the middle of the week. A boundary near the region keeps chances for showers and storms alive, but by Thursday and Friday the skies should open up, bringing clearer weather and lower humidity. The forecast for Memorial Day lists morning fog and showers, with afternoon thunder possible. High temperatures are expected to reach the 70s, while winds will be light and southeastward. Nights remain cool, with lows in the upper 60s.
