Discussion
Our low-level winds will shift from a southeasterly direction to southwesterly today and this will push much warmer air into the DC metro region. It’ll stay quite warm on Friday as well as a cold front approaches the region from the Great Lakes. This warm up will also bring with it scattered showers and possibly a couple of thunderstorms from today into tomorrow night. Following the cold frontal passage, it’ll turn cooler for the weekend and a cool, rainy period is likely to unfold from later Saturday into Sunday as strong low pressure pulls out of the south-central US and heads towards the Mid-Atlantic coastline.
