Discussion

The warm up that began yesterday will continue today as high temperatures climb to the 75 degree mark in the DC metro region. Unfortunately, this warm up will be accompanied by occasional showers and thunderstorms as a strong cold front approaches from the northwest. In fact, some of the storms that form later today can be on the strong-to-severe side with damaging wind gusts the main weather threat. It’ll turn colder and very windy late tonight and tomorrow following the passage of the cold front and then we’ll have to watch a “clipper” system which could throw some light snow our way early Friday. A reinforcing shot of cold air will follow the “clipper” system for the early part of the weekend and then some modification in temperatures will take place early next week.
