Forecast in detail
We quickly flip from early and fleeting warmth today to wind chills bottoming out in the teens tomorrow morning. At least the weekend looks sunny and dry, with Sunday being decent for outdoor plans as winds ease and temperatures eye the 40-degree mark or perhaps higher in some spots. It also looks like we get back toward average temperatures next workweek.
Today (Friday): Remarkably mild temperatures, perhaps near 60 degrees, may start the day for early risers. Some fog may be around, as well. As the front passes, temperatures quickly fall toward the mid-30s to around 40 by late afternoon. The resurgent Arctic air rides in on west-northwesterly winds gusting near 25 mph at times. Precipitation should end during the afternoon. We may see a bit of a mix to end, but it should be too mild and too little to matter. Confidence: Medium-High
Tonight: Precipitation should be out of here, although it may linger in southern Maryland. A couple snow flurries are possible. Temperatures continue to fall, thanks to northwesterly breezes continuing to gust around 25 mph. Wind chills near dawn are in the teens as low temperatures drop into the low to mid-20s. Confidence: Medium-High
