DC weather: Mild, sunny Wednesday ahead of unsettled, cooler conditions

4:45, checking in with our weather. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. It's great to stay up late. Good morning, good morning to you. Julie, I don't know how many people are going to be wanting to say good morning if they step outside into these temperatures, right? Well, they also, after hearing me sing, they're going to turn it off, go back to bed. It's too early. Oh, really? Oh, my goodness. Hey, but you know what, Julie? The good thing is, though, As soon as people start to wake up the second time, right, well, that's when we're going to start to see, of course, more sunshine and temperatures finally warming back up in towards those 50s pretty quickly, and then 60s throughout the rest of the afternoon. And it is going to be a beautiful day out there, so make sure to be able to get outside and enjoy it, because things are expected to change as we head in towards the later parts of this week. But look at this. As you head out the door. Well, temperatures will be around 55 degrees by about 9 a.m., 65 as we head towards 5 p.m., so not necessarily a bad day overall, and we slowly start to see cloud cover returning towards our area, but for the most part, mostly sunny skies are going to be the main thing during the afternoon, so temperatures are expected to get up towards about 69 degrees, maybe even a few 70s across the board in parts of northern Virginia, of course, seeing a little bit more of that sunshine and warmth with that southerly flow drawing in. But then as we head into the overnight hours, the cloud cover will be over top of us, acting like a bit of a blanket, getting us back towards those mid to upper 40s and even some 50s. But it's going to be paired with a few rain showers as well. So after seeing a beautifully dry day on Wednesday, look at that. By the time we get towards Thursday, things are expected to get a little bit more wet. By about 830 right here, this is where we could see some of those light rain showers. And we get a little bit of a break towards the... Later parts of the morning, but by the afternoon, you could expect to see a few rain showers once again. Then things start to become a little bit on the cooler side of things as the system moves out towards the Atlantic, drawing in winds from the north, bringing in a more fall-like feel to us. But don't worry, we're not expecting to see any kind of frozen precipitation. You may see a wet snowflake or two if you're closer towards parts of the Pennsylvania-Maryland border or over towards the higher elevation. Towards West Virginia, but otherwise not necessarily expecting to see too much of a wintry mess out there, right? What we can see is rain showers for the most part, and they end pretty quickly on Friday. That will leave us with temperatures in the low 50s. By the time we head into the weekend, things do start to dry on out, but it's going to stay chilly out there. Look at that. Highs in the 50s, lows in the 30s, and that really follows us into the new work week as well.
