       7/10: Winter warmth is weird, but it also means weather won’t mess with the holiday. Merry Christmas!

       Express forecast

       Today: Partly sunny. Highs: Mid-60s to near 70. Tonight: Partly to mostly clear. Lows: Mid-40s to near 50. Tomorrow: Mostly sunny. Highs: Near upper-50s to low-60s.

       Forecast in detail

       Today’s normal high is 47. Instead, we should make it to at least the top-10 warmest Christmas Days on record for D.C. To get that, the city just needs a high of 62 or above. Of course, as recently as 2015, it made it to 69, which was a few degrees shy of the record for the date. Seems we’ll fall just short of the record again today, but it could be close. Certainly not like the storybook Christmas, unless maybe you live in north Florida.

       Today (Saturday): Skies are likely at their cloudiest early, and there could be a few showers around. As with other rain chances of late, this one won’t amount to much of anything. Trending clearer into and through the afternoon as winds gust around 20 to 30 mph out of the west-southwest. This is a good wind direction to maximize warmth, so mid-60s to around 70 seems a good bet. D.C.'s record is 72, set in 1964. Confidence: Medium-High

       Tonight: A cold front passes tonight. That means increasing evening clouds and another small chance of a quick shower. Winds turn to come from the northwest as skies clear. Lows are mainly in the 40s. Confidence: Medium-High

       Tomorrow (Sunday): It’s a beautiful end to the holiday weekend. A little blustery, but highs within a few degrees of 60 offsets that nicely. Winds are from the northwest around 10 to 15 mph, with gusts toward 25 mph. Confidence: Medium-High

       Tomorrow night: Clouds may increase again for a time. They don’t seem likely to do anything useful as lows range across the 30s. Confidence: Medium

       A look ahead

       A storm passing to our north delivers some showers on Monday. It’s probably another case where not a lot falls, but it could be upward of a quarter inch or so, which is a start. Temperatures are quite a bit cooler with the clouds and rain around. Highs are mainly in the mid- and upper-40s. Confidence: Medium

       There should be a pause Tuesday, in what looks like a more active pattern setting up. Partly to mostly cloudy skies look like a good bet. We should try to warm it back up a bit, but sometimes that low-level cool air is hard to dislodge. Let’s say shooting for the 50s, for now. Confidence: Medium
