After temperatures fell short of expectations today with highs only reaching the upper 40s, we finally are experiencing a southerly push in the lower levels, and lows are anticipated to stay nearly stationary (45 to 50 degrees) throughout the overnight hours.
Wednesday should start off partly sunny and become mostly cloudy by around noon as the frontal system that has been with us throughout the week sinks back through the region. It may even bring a few showers with it in the afternoon hours. Highs should be warmer, yet once again, any variations in the location of the front can greatly affect what will happen in actuality. Our forecast is for highs to reach near the 60 degree mark in town, with potentially higher temperatures to the south of the city, and lower highs to the north.
Thursday, an area of low pressure looks to track up along the pre-existing frontal zone and over DC, bringing with it a chance for rain throughout the day and the possibility for up to a half inch in accumulation. Highs will mostly likely be in the overnight hours from Wednesday into Thursday and drop throughout the day as the low pressure swings through.
High pressure will then settle into the region during the day on Friday with cooler highs only reaching the upper 40s. There is also a potential winter storm in the works for the weekend during the Saturday night to Sunday morning timeframe. There is still plenty of uncertainty as to the track of the surface low pressure, which will determine what the storm will bring. We will keep you posted as soon as we get a better handle on the situation, but please stay tuned for further updates.
