Spring's Surprise: A Warm Tuesday in DC

Tue Oct 21 2025

Tuesday's Unpredictable Weather

DC woke up to a chilly morning, but things heated up fast. By afternoon, temperatures shot up into the 70s. This made Tuesday the hottest day of the week so far. The usual high for DC is 68 degrees, so this was a nice surprise.

Warmth from the South

Winds from the south pushed the warmth in. But don't get too comfortable. A cold front is on its way. It will bring clouds and maybe some rain later in the day.

Evening Showers Expected

The evening might get a bit wet. A few showers could pop up after sunset. The sun goes down at 6:21 p.m. So, if you have plans, be ready for some rain.

Rain Until Midnight

Rain might stick around until midnight. But don't worry, skies will clear up overnight. Temperatures will drop, but not too much. Lows will be in the 40s and 50s. That's not too bad for this time of year.

Enjoy the Warmth While It Lasts

So, enjoy the warmth while it lasts. Wednesday might bring cooler air again. It's a good reminder that spring weather can be unpredictable.
