Highs could reach the upper 80s early next week. 90 might even be in play.
NWS 6- to 10-day outlook is deep red, meaning very high chances for above normal temps.

The incoming rain, which will help wash away some of the pollen, will probably delay the start of the #Nats game, but we think it will move out quickly enough to be played mid- to late afternoon. Updated forecast, radar, NatCast here:…

Breezier tonight with mild lows in the 60s.
Easter rain is poorly timed—heaviest midday, with a rumble possible. Early AM or late day offers the best chance to stay drier.
