D.C.-area forecast: Warm spring sunshine arrives, lasting much of the week.

A string of superb days is ahead.

Express forecast
Today: Mostly sunny. Highs: 65-69.
Tonight: Partly cloudy. Lows: 38-48.
Tomorrow: Mostly sunny. Highs: 66-72.

Forecast in detail

A beautiful burst of springtime weather dominates the rest of the week, with sufficient sunshine each day to assist temperatures in surging up through the 60s and into the low to mid-70s at times, too. A cool front approaches on Friday, with additional clouds and some shower chances as the weekend downshifts toward more average March weather, but it should stay mostly dry.

Today (Tuesday): Practically perfect weather conditions, with mostly sunny skies lifting temperatures to the mid- to upper 60s this afternoon for some of our warmest weather in three months. Light winds blow from the south and southwest at only 5 to 10 mph. Confidence: Sky-High

Tonight: Partly cloudy, with lows in the upper 30s in the outer suburbs to the mid- to upper 40s in the city. Very light breezes. Confidence: High

Tomorrow (Wednesday): Another mostly sunny day that earns Nice Day status with highs in the mid- to upper 60s, but some spots may touch 70. Light winds blow from the south at 6 to 10 mph. Confidence: High

Tomorrow night: A few clouds around, with lows ranging through the 40s to near 50. Confidence: High

A look ahead
Thursday may pick up a few clouds, but skies should still be partly to mostly sunny as temperatures rise into the low to mid-70s for highs. Thursday night should run partly to mostly cloudy, with lows in the upper 40s to mid-50s. Confidence: High

Friday finds more cloudiness, with partly to mostly cloudy skies along with scattered light showers, but still very warm conditions as highs top out around 70 or into the low 70s. Friday night should be partly to mostly cloudy, too, with another shower chance as lows dip into the 40s. Confidence: Medium

The weekend moves closer to average weather for this time of year, with partly cloudy skies and highs in the mid- to upper 50s on Saturday. Partly cloudy and colder Saturday night as lows drop back to the 20s to 30s, but it should stay above freezing in the city. Sunday should see partly to mostly sunny skies as highs reach into the low to mid-50s. Confidence: Medium
