Discussion
The winter storm that has impacted us since the late weekend is still able to generate snow showers in the DC metro region and it won't relinquish control of our weather until later today. Temperatures today will struggle to reach the upper 30's for highs, but we'll be closer to 45 degrees on Thursday and 50 degrees on Friday as a cold frontal system approaches. That next front can cause snow and/or rain showers here from later tomorrow night into Friday afternoon and then it'll turn colder again this weekend following the passage of the cold front.
