This is the kind of September weather we’ve been waiting for. Blue skies today teamed up with a pleasant if sometimes gusty breeze. Along with temperatures mainly in the upper 70s, conditions combined to deliver a top-10 kind of day, which will hopefully be one of many to come over the next two months or so. We stick with it into tomorrow. Tonight might even be almost chilly.

       Through tonight: Clear skies persist. It’s a windows-open kind of evening, but you may want to close them before bed. It’s going to end up on the cool side, with most spots falling to the 50s for lows. In the city it might be closer to 60. Winds are out of the northwest around 5 mph.

       Cool watch: We’re getting into that time of year where we can say “it’s the coolest since!” Tonight, should D.C. fall into the 50s, it’ll be the first time since June 23 with temperatures that low. Over at Dulles, the idea is similar, but temperatures could be even lower. Fifty-five or below would be the coolest since late June as well. Fall is coming!
