Discussion
Today will be a somewhat unsettled day with the chance for a rain and/or snow shower or two this afternoon and temperatures well below-normal for this time of year. High temperatures this afternoon will struggle to reach 50 degrees and the normal high is now 67 degrees at Reagan National Airport (DCA). In the overnight hours, temperatures will fall close to freezing in many spots which could do some damage to sensitive plants as a patchy frost may form. It’ll turn milder at mid-week for a brief period, but then another cool front will slide through the region and cool us down again to well below-normal levels once again by the latter part of the work week.
