Chillier than normal weather ruled the Washington region for most of the last week — with highs mostly in the 60s. But mother nature’s heater is about to turn on full blast.

The District could see high temperatures of 90 degrees Monday and Tuesday as the first surge of summer heat swells over the region. Temperatures this high would be 15 to 20 degrees above normal.
