WASHINGTON — One more unseasonably cool day before a summer-like warm up.

Quick Forecast:
Tonight: Mostly cloudy and not as cool. Low: 50.
Saturday: Cloudy and cool with some showers. High: 61.
Saturday Night: Clearing and comfortable. Low: 53.
Sunday: Partly to mostly sunny and much warmer. High: 84.

Clouds will continue to increase throughout the evening ahead of a few showers to dodge on Saturday. The day will start dry before showers push into the metro area by 10 a.m. Hit or miss showers will continue throughout the afternoon before tapering off after 6 p.m. Far from a washout and not worth cancelling any plans over, but keep an umbrella handy if you do have plans to be outdoors. Temperatures will stay on the cool side for one more day in the upper 50s and low 60s.

By Sunday we are tracking high temperatures back in the low to mid 80s paired with partly cloudy skies.
