Temperatures on Saturday are expected to average around 85 in the D.C. area — the highest temperatures so far this year, and 15 to 20 degrees warmer than average for this time of year.
The highest highs expected on Saturday are in the low 90s at all three regional airports.
But, 7News First Alert Meteorologist Jordan Evans told WTOP he expects a nice breeze throughout the day.
Conditions will cool off by Saturday night, as more cloud cover bring a low into the 60.
On Easter Sunday, the D.C. region can expect a slightly cooler, cloudier day — but still a mild spring day, with highs in the upper 60s and lower 70s.
That mild-but-cloudy weather will carry into Monday, giving way to some warm April showers Tuesday morning.
