This may be the first weekend of spring, but the warming temperatures will give the D.C. region a brief break from the cold.
7News First Alert Meteorologist Matt Ritter said that Saturday will bring partly sunny skies and mild temperatures in the mid 60s to low 70s.
Saturday evening and overnight, expect the temperatures to dip into the 40s and 50s before a big warm up for Sunday, where temperatures are expected to reach the upper 70s to low 80s.
“It will be partly sunny and unseasonably warm,” Ritter said.
But that doesn’t mean it will be completely dry or clear on Sunday evening.
Ritter said to expect “increasing clouds and a few showers and thunderstorms in the evening hours and overnight.”
