A small disturbance riding the frontal boundary that has been meandering through our area for most of the week will bring a quick round of showers this Christmas holiday, between now and mid-morning for areas mainly south of DC, and then a round of spotty showers for DC and northern Maryland through mid-afternoon. Skies will stay mostly cloudy and temperatures will be near or just above average. The really warm air will stay well south of us today as the front will never make it through as a warm front. However, the front will sag farther south as a cold front tonight setting some colder air in place. Another disturbance tomorrow will move along the front as it tries to move back north and that will bring another quick moving round of precipitation starting in the midday hours. This time it will be cold and dry enough in northern Maryland for the precipitation to be mainly in the form of sleet and freezing rain, with just plain rain near DC and only a few spotty showers in central Virginia. We’ll dry out for Saturday before milder air and showers return on Sunday.
