Discussion
The passage of a “back door” cool front has ushered in noticeably cooler air to the DC metro region and low-level winds will be consistent today from an east-to-northeast direction. The day should feature lots of clouds and the chance of showers and thunderstorms. The chance of showers and thunderstorms will continue for tonight, tomorrow, and tomorrow night as the “back door” cool front turns around and pushes to the north as a warm front. Any storm that occurs tonight through tomorrow night can be on the strong side. Following the passage of the warm front, it’ll turn much warmer again on Saturday, but the intense heat from earlier in the week will not make a return. The weekend closes out with plenty of sunshine on Sunday, very warm conditions, and a chance of showers and thunderstorms.
