Although skies will be mostly sunny today, it may appear a bit hazy with a thin layer of smoke aloft. Highs will range from the upper 70s to lower 80s. Evening outdoor plans are a sure bet with a beautiful sunset at 8:20 p.m. Passing clouds overnight won't amount to much as temperatures settle to the 50s by dawn. Highs in the 70s return Tuesday under a nice mix of sun and clouds.

By midweek, temperatures will reach the low 80s. Ahead of a weak weather maker, increasing clouds late Wednesday may bring a few showers, mainly along the Maryland and Pennsylvania border. Comfortable highs in the 70s for the metro area on Thursday and Friday, compared with 60s in the mountains.

In anticipation of the upcoming long holiday weekend, an unsettled weather pattern could bring cooler temperatures and wet weather to the Mid-Atlantic region. Beachgoers may be disappointed as coastal storm chances increase. The forecast will continue to be refined over the coming days.
