DC Weather: Temperatures cool for Halloween

Tonight at 10, another beautiful fall week wrapping up here in the D.C. region. The temperatures, though, they are going to drop a bit as we get closer to Halloween, which, yes, is just around the corner. Let's get to meteorologist Mike Thomas now for a first check on your holiday forecast. Mike, I like the little pumpkin. Oh, well, you've got to be a little bit festive, right, as we get ready for that Halloween holiday on a Saturday, which means, you know, I always intend to be extra busy whenever it falls on a Saturday with, like, extra kids out. They trick-or-treat. Later, they get an extra hour of sleep because it also is one of those rare times that we will be falling back the exact same weekend. So you get an extra hour of sleep between Saturday night and Sunday morning. 77 today. What a day in Washington. Beautiful afternoon. Pretty comfortable evening. Now, a note. Cooler for tomorrow compared to today. It will be dry, though, so good news for the trick-or-treaters there. Dulles 76, Baltimore 76 degrees, well above the seasonal average, which is down to just 64 degrees this time of year. Live look outside at the Capitol Wheel, still turning at this late hour, and all aglow tonight. Temperature is 61 now, Reagan National. Dulles, same deal. BWI, Thurgood Marshall, already in the 50s, and a lot of us will head for the 40s and even the 30s in our far western zones during those overnight hours. There's that big picture showing you not too much happening close to D.C. As we continue to watch the satellite radar here, there are a couple of cold fronts that have passed on by. They came through what we call dry, meaning no rain along with them and barely a cloud, to be completely honest with you. So a little spoiled in that department. We look ahead through the overnight hours. Temperatures falling down even into the 40s here in D.C. That's how much drier the air is. Sun is back, especially first half of the day tomorrow. It does look pretty bright. It'll just be cooler with high temperatures only in those middle 60s. Lower than middle 60s, in fact, and breezes, they were a little gusty today, but they'll be lighter tomorrow, just out of the north, though, so that'll keep things on the cooler side. So, for that all-important trick-or-treat planner forecast, temperature by about, oh, 6 o'clock in the evening, sun's going down 60 degrees, trick-or-treaters come out, temperature's likely falling into the 50s, suburbs, too, might be a little cool and chilly for trick-or-treat time, 55 degrees there by 8 o'clock in the evening. Happy Halloween, everybody. Bye.
