FRIDAY NIGHT: Cloudy. Temps hold steady. Isolated snow showers
Lows: 31-35
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 showers or snow flurries possible. No snowfall accumulation is expected overnight.

SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy. Chance of morning rain/snow mix (4 a.m. to 1 p.m.)
Highs: 43-49
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 is expected.

SUNDAY: Mostly cloudy
Highs: 32-37
Winds: Northwest 10-20 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: Mostly sunny
Highs: 34-40
Winds: Southwest 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 annual MLK Peace Walk & Parade starting at 11 a.m. in Southeast D.C.

TUESDAY: COLD ALERT
Mostly sunny
Temps: 26-33
Winds: Northwest 10-15 mph
Tuesday will be one of the coldest days of the winter (so far). Morning windchills -3 to 8.
