A cold start yesterday morning in the nation’s capital. (Brian Swogger via Flickr) TODAY’S DAILY DIGIT
A somewhat subjective rating of the day’s weather, on a scale of 0 to 10. 4/10: It’s still cold, and now it’s cloudy, but not having to deal with that wind is worth a bonus point in my book. EXPRESS FORECAST Today: Mostly cloudy and cold. Highs: Upper 30s to near 40.
Tonight: Wintry mix possible late. Lows: Mid-to-upper 30s.
Tomorrow: Scattered rain showers, milder. Highs: Mid-40s to low 50s. View the current weather conditions at The Washington Post headquarters. FORECAST IN DETAIL And just like that, we’ve turned on the “winter” switch around here. While we lose the raw winds today, we lose the sun as well. Our next front moves in overnight and may briefly bring a wintry mix before turning to all rain. By midweek a reinforcing chill arrives as we keep our eye out for any signs of our first real snow threat. Today (Sunday): We may get a few breaks in the clouds early, or at least some filtered sun, but on the whole it’s a mostly cloudy end to our weekend. Most of us shouldn’t see anything more than a flurry, but those in our far northern areas toward the MD/PA border could see some snow showers this morning into early afternoon. Highs don’t make much headway thanks to thickening clouds, only reaching the upper 30s to around 40, with a light wind coming from the south by afternoon. Confidence: Medium-High Tonight: Temperatures stay fairly steady overnight and may even tick up a few degrees. Some light precipitation could arrive after midnight, and might start as a brief wintry mainly in our northern and western suburbs, with no accumulation expected. Everyone should be all rain by 4-5 a.m., as temperatures hover in the mid-30s to near 40. Confidence: Medium |
