Discussion
After a chilly start to the day, temperatures today should climb to the lower 60’s for afternoon highs and similar conditions are expected on Saturday. However, by Sunday, a big-time warmup will begin in much of the eastern US and temperatures here will soar into the low-to-mid 80’s as high pressure pushes off the east coast. It turns even warmer on Monday with temperatures climbing into the mid-to-upper 80’s across the DC metro region. A cold frontal system approaches the area late Tuesday, and it could generate showers and thunderstorms in the area.
