Discussion
From record warmth to snow in the forecast…
After an unusually warm day on Thursday, much cooler air is pushing into the DC metro region following the late night passage of a cold front. Winds will kick up as well today with gusts to 40 mph quite likely throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. Low pressure can produce some snow around here on Saturday and then a stronger system could throw some rain this way early next week.
