Storm Team4 of NBC4 Washington says a new forecast calls for clearer skies, cooler temperatures and lower humidity across the Washington, D.C. metro area and its suburbs beginning on October 5 and lasting for several days.

The improvement is tied to a stronger high‑pressure system moving into the region, which is expected to bring a more favorable weather pattern.

After a cloudy, damp weekend, the area is set to experience sunny, crisp fall conditions.
