Near record high temperatures are forecast for the Washington, D.C. area this Sunday, expected at or above 90 degrees. Only possible isolated thunderstorms towards the end of the day could again temporarily break up the heat.
Dulles International Airport has actually reached a record high temperature already this weekend, having hit 92 degrees on Saturday... four degrees above the previous record for the April 25 date. National & BWI airports remained below record levels.
The late April heat wave is being propelled by a largely stagnant high pressure system, forecast to dominate the weather through the start of the upcoming work week. A more permanent end to the excessively hot conditions is not projected until Wednesday.
