Discussion
The work week will end on a very nice note with the return of sunshine after early day fog as high pressure edges into the region. After a noticeably cooler day on Thursday, temperatures will be boosted by the sunshine later today and climb into the low-to-mid 70’s during the afternoon. Low pressure will slide north of the region from later tonight into Saturday bringing with it the return of showers here and perhaps a couple of thunderstorms mixed in as well. Following a cold frontal passage, cooler air will push in for the second half of the weekend with highs on Sunday likely confined to the upper 50’s.
One final note, indications are that the cherry blossoms in DC will peak in about a week’s time...probably timed with the arrival of a pretty chilly air mass from our northwest.
