Off and on showers, including heavy downpours, will be a significant feature of the Friday morning commute, compounded by dense fog that will reduce visibility. However, there is hope for better weather as skies are expected to clear in the afternoon, leading to a pleasant Friday with temperatures reaching the upper 50s. Although a cold front could potentially pass through earlier, resulting in slightly cooler temperatures, optimism remains for an enjoyable afternoon.
Saturday is anticipated to be the highlight of the weekend, offering partly cloudy skies and mild temperatures in the low to mid 50s. However, Sunday is forecasted to bring a coastal storm that will introduce the next wave of precipitation. While the storm appears strong, it is projected to remain far enough to the east, allowing rainfall to begin Sunday morning, with some areas, particularly to the west of Washington D.C., experiencing a mix of rain and wet snow. By Sunday evening, it’s likely that widespread wet snow will be observed, though most of it will melt quickly. Depending on the temperature and the intensity of the snowfall, minor accumulations could occur Sunday night, providing a wintry touch to the end of the weekend.
As the weekend unfolds, residents can look forward to a delightful Saturday, while preparing for the wintry weather that may arrive on Sunday evening, a reminder of the changing seasons.
