TODAY: MORNING COLD ALERT
Sunny start; becoming partly to mostly cloudy
Highs: 35-40
Winds: South 5-15 mph
Frigid-feeling weather wraps up the work and school week. Morning temperatures will start off in the teens and 20s. High temperatures will climb into the mid-to-upper 30s with southerly breezes and increasing clouds ahead of our next weather maker.

TONIGHT:
Mostly cloudy
Isolated Snow Showers
Lows: 29-34
Winds: South 5-10 mph
Clouds thicken overnight with low temperatures falling to around freezing. A weather-maker approaching from the west will bring increasing moisture to the atmosphere with a few snow shower or snow flurries possible. No snowfall accumulation is expected overnight.

SATURDAY:
Mostly cloudy
Chance AM Rain/Snow Mix
Highs: Mid 40s
Winds: Southwest 5-15 mph
Milder weather is expected, briefly, Saturday afternoon ahead of another cold front. There is a chance for light rain and snow showers to overspread the region Saturday morning and exit late morning. Little to no snowfall accumulation is expected. Rainfall totals will be less than .10″. Skies will gradually brighten during the afternoon with dry conditions for your Saturday night plans.

SUNDAY:
Morning clouds to sun
Highs:Mid 30s
Winds: Northwest 5-15 mph
Colder weather returns Sunday with highs a little above freezing. It will also be breezy, so wind-chills will be in the 20s for much of the day. There is a sneaky snow chance Sunday with a coastal low offshore. The trends have kept this system far enough east that it would only bring the chance for a few snow flurries Sunday, but our team will monitor any potential track change that could increase our snow threat.

MLK MONDAY:
Partly cloudy
Highs: Upper 30s
Winds: Northwest 10-15, Gusts 25 mph
Blustery and cold weather is in store for our holiday Monday. High temperatures will top out in the upper 30s with wind chills going from the teens in the morning to 20s during the afternoon. Dress warmly if you are heading to the annualMLK Peace Walk & Parade starting at 11 a.m. in southeast D.C.
