Late April sunshine has gone to work to quickly warm the area into the low and mid 70s, after some morning low cloudiness and fog. Temperatures will stay near 70 through the commute, before slowly dropping through the 60s after sunset.

Tonight: Temperatures will be above seasonal averages overnight as dew points in the 50s keep readings from falling very far. Expect low temperatures to hit the mid 50s in the suburbs and the upper 50s in the District. Skies will be partly cloudy early trending to mostly clear by sunrise.

Tomorrow: The warming trend will continue on Thursday as the region basks in sunshine. Highs are expected to reach the upper 70s across the region, and a few 80-degree readings are possible, especially south of D.C.
