Tomorrow (Monday): This may tie or rank as the warmest day of the workweek, with highs around 80 to perhaps a few mid-80s south of town in the sunniest spots. As a light but steady east wind gets going during the afternoon, an increase in clouds is possible off the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean. Confidence: Medium-High Tomorrow night: Skies may stay partly cloudy as easterly breezes slowly slacken. Low temperatures should bottom out in the 50s for just about everyone in the region. Confidence: Medium-High Any early clouds should decrease quickly on Tuesday with ample sunshine overall. We aim to warm up to the mid- to upper 70s with an afternoon breeze picking up a bit from the east. If we can somehow eliminate the late-day easterly breeze, we might have a chance at 80 degrees. As it stands now, 70s are more likely. Confidence: Medium-High Mostly sunny skies and light winds are likely on Wednesday as we warm back up again a half-notch, toward the upper 70s to low 80s for high temperatures.
