The risk of wet weather will carry into Wednesday before partly cloudy skies track into the region on Thursday. Highs will reach into the low to mid 70s today as 70s carry into Wednesday as well. Upper 70s to low 80s will push in on Thursday.  Lows will dip into the mid 50s to low 60s tonight an Wednesday night before upper 50s to low 60s move in on Thursday night. The DC Region will look at a chance of afternoon/evening showers and storms as the threat of stormy weather continues into Wednesday as well. Thursday will bring mostly sunny skies into the region again. Highs will peak in the low to mid 80s today before upper 70s to low 80s settle in on Wednesday and mid to upper 70s push in on Thursday. Lows in the low to mid 60s tonight will drop into the upper 50s to low 60s Wednesday night and Thursday night. Have a great two-for Tuesday!
