Good morning, Washington. Physical discomfort is part of the Halloween ritual. A masked night out involves harsh fabric, pore-suffocating makeup and limited mobility.

Today is going to be hot, sticky and summer-like — and it may be the last day of its kind for the year as we usher in cooler weather (the morning meteorologists project that persistent 90 degree days have expired for the season). Showers are possible, but the threat of storms really increases tonight and tomorrow. We’re also in line for copious amounts of rain this week as what’s left of Tropical Storm Lee heads toward the Washington area. If you see the sun today, enjoy it.
