A strong cold front passed through the region late last evening and ushered in a colder-than-normal air mass for mid-March and temperatures today will struggle to climb past 40 degrees. The front produced some high wind gusts in the area with 68 mph being recorded at Reagan National Airport (DCA) and 66 mph at Dulles Airport (IAD). The DCA observation of 68 mph was the highest wind gust recorded there since May 2019, and the third highest seen during the past 30 years.
