The slow climb to summer begins on Monday with sunny skies and a high temperature of 77 degrees. After another cool night, highs will stretch to 85 degrees on Tuesday, 91 on Wednesday, 92 degrees on Thursday with increasing humidity and hazy skies, and 91 on Friday.
Fueling some of that haze will be smoke from Canadian wildfires moving into the Mid-Atlantic states.

"It feels unmistakably like summer Wednesday through Friday," The Washington Post's Capital Weather Gang said. "Warm weather hangs around for the weekend, with highs near 90 Saturday and 80 to 85 Sunday. Saturday offers a chance of showers and storms as a cool front comes through. Sunday has a better chance to stay dry and is probably less humid after morning lows in the 60s."
