Listen Later

Hey there, weather warriors! Dustin Breeze here, coming at you with a forecast that's gonna be more electrifying than my old touchdown passes! We've got a weekend in Washington, District of Columbia that's gonna keep you on your toes - or should I say, on your cleats?

Let's break down today's weather playbook. Right now, we're looking at a mostly cloudy day with a high near 68 degrees Fahrenheit. It's like a defensive line of clouds trying to block out the sun, but don't worry - we've got some offensive moves coming! South winds are gonna start around 5 to 10 miles per hour, then shift west and ramp up to 12 to 17 miles per hour in the afternoon. Wind gusts could hit up to 29 miles per hour - talk about a weather blitz!

Tonight's forecast is running a tight defensive strategy - mostly clear with temperatures dropping to around 34 degrees Fahrenheit. Northwest winds will be playing hard at 9 to 15 miles per hour, with gusts up to 26 miles per hour. It's gonna be chillier than a rookie's first training camp!

Now, let's dive into our Weather Playbook segment! Today, we're talking about wind shear - it's like the unexpected tackle in weather formation. Wind shear is when wind speed or direction changes dramatically over a short distance. Imagine a quarterback getting blindsided - that's basically what wind shear does to air masses! It can create turbulence, impact cloud formation, and even influence storm development. Meteorologically speaking, it's the ultimate game-changer!

Three-day forecast, coming in hot like a no-huddle offense:

Sunday: Increasing clouds, high near 57 degrees Fahrenheit. North winds becoming southwest in the afternoon.

Sunday Night: Potential showers after 2 am, with a low around 44 degrees Fahrenheit. Chance of precipitation at 60 percent.

Monday: Showers likely before 2 pm, high near 67 degrees Fahrenheit. 60 percent chance of precipitation.
