Pride weekend in Washington, D.C. looks to be a mix of celebrations and sporadic rain, as on-and-off wet weather is expected through late Sunday.
On Saturday afternoon, residents can anticipate scattered showers accompanied by occasional thunder. While there may be some breaks of sunshine, any rain that does occur could lead to isolated downpours. Temperatures will reach highs between the upper 70s and lower 80s.
As the night unfolds, the likelihood of scattered showers could impact local roadways. Sunday is expected to be even cooler, with more clouds and the continued possibility of storms throughout the day.
Meteorologists are warning that Sunday afternoon may bring strong to severe thunderstorms, with the primary risks being gusty winds and small hail. The Storm Prediction Center has labeled parts of the DMV as being under a “slight” risk for severe weather, which could result in some alerts.
Despite the challenging weather, there’s good news on the horizon: warmer temperatures are forecast for the upcoming week, potentially marking the first 90-degree day of the season.
This mix of rain and rising temperatures may serve as a reminder of nature’s unpredictability, but it also highlights the resilience of the local community as they celebrate Pride while navigating the weather.
