Thursday will be the warmest of the week with highs in the mid 70s! It will also be breezy to windy with our next chance for rain. The warm weather today and tomorrow should allow the cherry blossoms to reach peak, so stay tuned for the announcement from the National Park Service!

Our next weather maker will bring a chance for morning rain. Plan for wet weather for the Thursday morning rush. A few waves of rain are expected through midafternoon with the wet weather moving out by 3PM. Rainfall totals will average around .25". If you're looking to see the cherry blossoms on Thursday, the best time to get out will be in the late afternoon/early evening, as the wet weather should be over. Tomorrow will also be a breezy to windy day.

Additional rain chances are likely Friday through Saturday with another weather maker. The National Cherry Blossom Kite Festival is Saturday, so our team will be monitoring the forecast trends closely. At this point, plan for showers and breezy winds. Sunday continues to trend sunny and breezy with highs in the 60s.
