Expect a cold morning Saturday and some slippery conditions, thanks to an overnight refreeze of wet roadways after snowfall blanketed the D.C. region Friday.
Some patchy freezing fog and the refreezing may make driving hazardous Saturday. “Watch out for slick spots” if you’re venturing out this morning, said 7News First Alert Meteorologist Jordan Evans.
Temperatures will eventually tick up from the 20s in the morning to the mid 40s by the afternoon, all under partly sunny skies. “It’ll take some time to warm up today even with the sunshine out there,” Evans said.
Light winds are expected across the region, according to the National Weather Service.
But the very temporary respite from low temperatures is gone by nightfall. Evans said to expect another cold night as temperatures dropping back into the 20s, hitting anywhere from 22 to 28 degrees.
“I think the roads will dry out Saturday, so I’m not concerned with refreeze overnight,” he said.
The weekend will close out Sunday with temperatures climbing near normal for this time of year, he said, with figures going back up to 45 degrees. Expect partly sunny skies Sunday.

Evans warned chance for snow showers could be around the corner in the coming week for the D.C. region. Monday’s highs will only be around 35 degrees and there’s a small chance of a passing rain or snow shower Wednesday night.
Wednesday’s high could push 50 degrees with precipitation expected at night. But, by Thursday, temperatures are expected to “finally start to rebound,” Evans said.
