Precipitation vs normal on the European weather model shows drier than normal around much of the Mid-Atlantic.
Despite some recent rain, the region is still locked in severe drought -- about 5" behind on the water year (since Oct. 1).
More showers are on the way ahead, but the big, mood-changing soakers seem ready to stay to our west. No quick fix ahead.

Friday remains a tough temperature forecast for the DC area due to the uncertain location of a front.
Model forecasts for Friday aftn range from the 40s to 70s. Typically the reality is somewhere in between, but often toward the cooler side.
For now we lean toward Friday highs in the 50s and 60s.

Our cherry blossom peak bloom forecast is out!
We're calling for the blossoms to reach their peak April 3-7 -- the latest peak since at least 2018.
The cool weather has slowed down the beginning of the bud cycle.
Read our full blossom forecast at this link: www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2026...
We're tantalizingly close to spring warmth, but clouds & some showers hold us back today w/ highs upper 40s to mid-50s.
What's next?
*More showers possible this evening
*Another step warmer tomorrow
*70s possible by Fri or Sat
*Skies brighten at times starting tomorrow
*Yet shower chances persist

Big warm-up ahead: some 70s likely, maybe near 80 by Saturday.
Thu-Fri still tricky with cool air lurking nearby to the northeast -- could mean 50s northern MD, 60s/70s south of the Potomac. By Saturday, warmth should overspread the whole area.

The good news: The steady rain is done for now. And temps are above freezing most places.
The bad news: It's dismally raw, misty and more rain is coming tonight.
These temps are no fun...
Updated forecast: www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2026...
Snow totals since Monday were modest: generally 0.5–1.5” around D.C., mainly on grass with little pavement impact. Reagan National: 0.8”, Dulles: 0.4”, BWI: 1.0”. Western Loudoun and near Winchester saw 2–3”. Seasonal total at National now 10.4” (still below the 12” norm).
