Bitter cold conditions continue across the D.C. region Sunday, as wind chills dropped into the teens and even below zero early on.
Skies will clear in the evening, setting up another chilly stretch with lows in the single digits and wind chills near zero. Northwest winds will be lighter, but temperatures remain extremely cold.
For Monday, there will be passing clouds and light winds as temperatures try to rebound behind the Arctic blast, but high temperatures will only get to freezing for the afternoon.
Tuesday will see a more appreciable increase in temperatures. Sunshine will melt ice and snow and temperatures well above freezing will also help accelerate melting. High temperatures should get close to normal in the middle 40s.
Wednesday could be the warmest day of the week, as temperatures rise into the upper 40s near 50. Evans said more clouds than sun and the chance for evening showers are expected.
