DC weather: Snow, rain mix possible Thursday as temperatures plunge

WASHINGTON – After two days of springlike, even summerlike warmth, temperatures will tumble Thursday, even bringing the chance for a mix of rain and wet snow across the D.C. region. 

Morning temperatures in the 60s and low 70s will be the warmest of the day before cold air sweeps through, says FOX 5’s Taylor Grenda. Winds, already picking up early, will strengthen throughout the day.

Rain showers move in from the west during the morning and continue into early afternoon. As colder air rushes in behind a cold front, a few wet snowflakes may mix around midday. FOX 5’s Tucker Barnes says most of it will melt on contact, so road impacts are unlikely.

Temperatures fall into the 30s and 40s by late afternoon, then drop into the 20s and 30s overnight. Friday will be cold and windy to close out the workweek.

The weekend starts cool with lighter winds, but temperatures rebound into the 60s Sunday and may briefly reach the 70s Monday ahead of storms. Another round of colder air arrives for St. Patrick’s Day on Tuesday.
