       4/10: Yes, we need whatever precipitation we can get, but it’s a raw and gray day on balance.

       Express forecast

       Today: Morning rain/wintry mix. Cloudy afternoon. Highs: 40 to 45. Tonight: Mostly cloudy. Lows: 35 to 40. Tomorrow: Mostly cloudy, chance of rain late. Highs: Near 50.

       Forecast in detail

       After highs in the 60s both weekend days, Monday brings a cold taste of reality. It’s raw and chilly with rain that could even mix with a bit of sleet or snow. It turns milder after today with highs near or above 50 the rest of the week. Frequent chances of rain accompany the mild weather, but we need the precipitation.

       Today (Monday): A period of rain is a good bet between midmorning and midday, and the rain could briefly mix with or change to snow and sleet, mainly north and northwest of the District. With temperatures between 35 and 40, no accumulation is anticipated. The precipitation tapers off in the afternoon, but it remains cloudy, with highs 40 to 45. Winds are light from the east and southeast. Confidence: Medium

       Tomorrow (Tuesday): Mostly cloudy and a bit milder than Monday with highs close to 50. We can’t rule out some showers as the afternoon wears on, mainly in our western areas. Light winds. Confidence: Medium-High

       Tomorrow night: A few showers are a good bet but probably don’t amount to much. Temperatures don’t fall much, with lows 40 to 45. Confidence: Medium-High

       A look ahead

       Showers are a good bet Wednesday and Thursday, but both days are unlikely total washouts and there’s a chance we may try to dry out by the second half of Thursday. Highs both days are in the 50s, although Wednesday has an outside shot to hit 60. Lows Wednesday night are in the 40s. Confidence: Medium

Clouds increase some Friday night but it’s probably dry for New Year’s Eve festivities, with lows near 40. A shower can’t be ruled out toward Saturday morning. Confidence: Medium

       The New Year’s weekend looks rather unsettled with intermittent showers both days. It remains milder than normal, with highs in the mid-to-upper 50s Saturday and cooling to the low 50s Sunday. Saturday night’s temperatures are mostly in the 40s. Confidence: Medium
