The 3 major airports in the local area saw high temp records today! This also marked the 1st 90 degree day for Reagan National Airport. Compared to average, the typical 1st 90 degree day occurs a few weeks from now. Mild conditions persist into the night. #MDwx #VAwx #DCwx #WVwx

Mostly sunny skies will continue through the afternoon with highs in the mid to upper 80s for most lower elevations. Cannot rule out a few low 90s, especially along and east of the Blue Ridge. 70s will be more common in the mountains.

Strong high pressure to the south delivers near record heat to the region today. Highs today in the mid to upper 80s & low 90s. A spotty mountain afternoon t-storm cannot be ruled out with more widespread t-storm chances Tuesday. Relief later this week. #MDwx #VAwx #WVwx #DCwx
