Discussion
The next few days will be unsettled in the DC metro region with a frontal system acting as the catalyst for occasional showers today, tonight, tomorrow and on Saturday as well and there can be a few thunderstorms along the way. It becomes very mild today with highs in the 70’s, but following a late night frontal passage, temperatures will drop to noticeably cooler levels for the bulk of the day on Friday. The front will settle just to the south of here and its boundary zone will act as a conduit for low pressure to move through early this weekend. Once the low pressure system passes by to our northeast on Saturday night, drier will push into the region to close out the weekend and sunshine should return on Sunday.
