Forecast in detail
Our weather continues to look nicer than it feels outside, not only today, but through the first part of the workweek, with above-average sunshine but below-average temperatures. The only “action” for us is the chance of flurries or light snow late tonight into early tomorrow morning, mainly south and southeast of D.C. High pressure then takes over again, keeping us dry and cool through midweek.
Today (Sunday): A frosty start stays plenty cool despite mostly to partly sunny skies. Morning temperatures rise through the 30s with afternoon highs only in the low to mid-40s. Winds back off from yesterday, but are still breezy at times, gusting from the northwest around 20 mph. That makes for a pretty cold day, especially in the shade. That being said, it is winter, after all, so feeling cold is to be expected. Confidence: High
Tonight: A storm system to our south starts to cloud up our skies late this evening and overnight. Temperatures still manage to cool quickly despite the increasing clouds, with lows dropping to the upper 20s and low 30s. Some flurries or light snow is possible after 3 a.m. or so, especially south and southeast of D.C. Confidence: Medium-High

Tomorrow (Monday): The storm system slides by to our south and out to sea. But the chance of flurries or light snow continues until 10 a.m. or so. Can’t rule out a light accumulation of a dusting to half-inch, mainly as you head south and southeast of the Beltway. Skies then turn partly sunny as morning temperatures rise into and through the 30s, with continued chilly afternoon highs only reaching the low 40s. Just a bit of a breeze from the north, around 10 mph. Confidence: Medium-High
Tomorrow night: A lingering breeze from the northwest keeps temperatures from getting as cold as they might otherwise. Still, it’s plenty cold, with lows dropping to the mid-20s to near 30 beneath partly cloudy skies. Confidence: Medium-High
A look ahead
High pressure controls our weather Tuesday and Wednesday as temperatures remain below average. Skies should be at least partly sunny with highs both days in the mid-40s. Continued cold Tuesday night and Wednesday night with lows in the mid-20s to low 30s. Confidence: Medium-High
Snow potential index
A daily assessment of the potential for at least 1 inch of snow in the next week, on a zero-to-10 scale.
1/10 (→): Lightly accumulating snow looks like it stays mostly south of us late tonight into early Monday, but it’s close enough we can’t rule out a dusting to half-inch, mainly as you head south and southeast of the Beltway.
