DC Weather: Clouds and showers Thursday

Down to the details. All right. Thank you so much, Josh. Now we're talking weather, okay? This is something that affects us all here. And it sounds like we might need the umbrella soon. Just a little bit tomorrow. And look, not a whole lot. And in the jacket eventually. Well, sooner than eventually, I think. I mean, I think a lot of the overnights have been chilly out there, right? But now get ready for daytime highs that have been closer to some overnight lows in recent days. So yeah, big time cool down coming up this weekend. In fact, Probably our strongest push of cold air so far. Though, again, not atypical for this time of year that we start seeing winter starting to fight a little bit, especially now that the sun angle is pretty low, sun setting before 5 o'clock. The daylight hours are much shorter this time of year, which is just a recipe for some cooler air to start to build. Tomorrow, seasonably kind of cool. The temperature is probably lower 60s for a brief period of time, but certainly not as pleasant feeling as the last couple. With more limited sunshine and a chance for some showers coming across from time to time. Though, I do want to emphasize Thursday is not a washout here in the D.C. area. 53, or I'm sorry, 55, Fairfax. 57 for Washington. 55, Dale City. 54, La Plata. Colonial Beach at 58. Reba, 57. Beltsville, 51. Leesburg at 57. A lot of 50s on the map. If you remember this time last night, a lot of 40s, like lower 40s on it. So that's the cloud cover. That's a little bit more humidity sneaking in. Out ahead of this storm system, which has quite literally storms with it tonight. Decent line coming through portions of Kentucky right now, almost spring-like thunderstorms there. And you can clearly see that little spin in the atmosphere there going through northern Indiana about to cross into portions of Ohio. That is a wave of low pressure that will be intensifying and will eventually become a Nor'easter, well, a bit of a Nor'easter. Weaker Nor'easter than the one that came from the south during October. But, you know, we give it the name because of what the winds are doing. We're doing around the storm, and indeed, as it gets off the coast, it'll kick up that classic nor'easter, northeastern wind. Now, heading up into tomorrow morning. Heading in towards tomorrow morning, I should say, 5 o'clock in the morning. Mixture of clouds and maybe some peaks of sun. But there you go with some scattered showers rotating in. But know this, again, not a uniform area of precipitation. It'll be more hit and miss variety stuff. Heaviest stuff likely in the mountains there. We'll occasionally peak some sunshine through and then occasionally fire a few more showers. So it's just sort of one of those days where, yeah, umbrella handy. It could sort of rain or we could pop one of those showers throughout the course of the afternoon. But not a washout. It won't be an all-day rain fest for us here. Washington snowflakes trying to make it into southern Pennsylvania and possibly even northern portions of Maryland there on Friday. No accumulations expected. Through the day on Friday, we'll fight sunshine and cloud cover for most of it. Friday has been trending in a drying direction. Saturday as well, though both those days significantly cooler than the last several. Snowfall expectations, again, nothing for us here in Washington. Parts of northern Pennsylvania and New York, though, could see their first decent accumulations of the year. Next few days here in D.C., we'll call it. Somewhere between 62 and 64 tomorrow. It'll be brief, and then temperatures will fall back tomorrow evening. Look at Friday's high. Just an isolated shower, temperature 55 degrees, and that wind is going to be blowing. Jim? Mike, thanks.
