OVERNIGHT: Partly to mostly cloudy
Lows: 34-40
Winds: South 5 mph
Dry and chilly weather is expected overnight with increasing clouds. Air temperatures are likely to stay above freezing across the D.C. region, so there is no threat of damage to plants or trees.

WEDNESDAY: Partly to mostly cloudy
Highs: 58-65
Winds: South 5-10 mph
Wednesday looks quiet and seasonable across the D.C. area. After a cool start in the 30s, temperatures will rebound into the 50s and lower 60s during the afternoon. Skies will feature more clouds than sun, but the day stays dry and fairly pleasant overall. It is a much more typical late March day, with calmer conditions and no real weather issues expected from morning through evening.

THURSDAY: Partly sunny
Highs: 74-80
Winds: Southwest 5-15 mph with gusts to 20 mph
Thursday turns much warmer and starts to feel more like spring. Morning temperatures will already be milder, and by afternoon highs will climb into the upper 60s to middle 70s. It will be breezy at times with a south wind, and clouds will continue to increase through the day. Most of Thursday looks dry, but by late night showers are expected to develop as a strong cold front approaches the region.

FRIDAY: Morning rain and storms with late day clearing
Highs: 58-64
Winds: North 5-15 mph with gusts to 35 mph
Friday brings the most unsettled weather of the stretch as that cold front moves through. Expect scattered to numerous showers, especially from early in the day into at least part of the afternoon, with even a slight chance for a thunderstorm. Behind the front, winds turn gusty and much colder air rushes in, making it feel sharply cooler by evening. Gusts of 25 to 35 mph are possible, and by Friday night wind chills will tumble into the 20s and 30s.
