The second half of the weekend promises sunshine and seasonable warmth, but the D.C. region will have to contend with some clouds and showers first.

Saturday morning will start off mild with temperatures in the lower 70s, only rising a bit by the afternoon. Overcast skies will lead to afternoon showers that are expected to develop from south to north, dropping up to one inch of rainfall.

“We’ll get pockets of moderate to heavy rain for the afternoon and evening on Saturday,” 7News First Alert Chief Meteorologist Veronica Johnson said.

After the showers clear, Sunday will be drier, with more sunshine and highs in the upper 70s. Humidity will still be felt, but it will be a nicer day to be outside.

Skies could turn partly cloudy by the late afternoon, Johnson said.
