D.C. area forecast: Inauguration weather turns colder after a moderately mild weekend
Pre-inauguration festivities should mostly go off without any weather worries this weekend, as we are greeted with plenty of sun and temperatures close to — and warmer than — what we’d usually expect at this point in January. Colder air begins to bleed back into the region with the first frontal passage on Sunday, and that sets the stage for a cold but not frigid Inauguration Day. It’s just the start though as Arctic air invades for our return to work.
PM Update: Clouds and sprinkles overnight, with snow around on Thursday
Clouds, clouds, clouds… forever? Seems that way. They’re definitely not going anywhere over the next day or so. The good news is the light off-and-on sprinkle or light rain regime we’ve seen during the day is trying to push east, though it might not be the speediest process east and south. Tomorrow’s snow threat? It’s complicated.
PM Update: Clouds reign, with rain showers likely through Tuesday
Another cloudy day under our belts -- seems like the main story of winter so far. Temperatures that peaked near 60 earlier today have fallen back through the 50s and into the 40s across the area as cooler air filters in from the north and northwest. While the first of a number of potential batches of rain largely missed to the south today, you should get your fill in the coming period.
PM Update: Clouds decrease tonight, and a decent Thursday is ahead
This was a tricky forecast day, with much warmer temperatures largely ending up confined just to our south. Abundant clouds, and even some light showers, impacted large part of the area. This helped keep temperatures in check. Even though it was cooler than forecast, readings in the mid-40s to the low 50s are still a good bit above average.
