DC Weather: Breezy and chilly weekend

Again, as that ground stop is lifted, as you take a live look at Reagan National Airport from our Fox 5 Skycam, but we still want to get you your weather forecast on this Friday night. Yes, we do. We are going to turn now to your forecast. Mike Thomas is in. What can you tell us, Mike? It's a chilly day. Yeah, chilly day, and we're ahead of a chilly weekend. In fact, first day this month where this number has been in the negative, 7 degrees. Below the seasonal average here in D.C. Low temp, 46. High temp, just after 1 o'clock this afternoon at 52. We spent most of the day today in the 40s here in Washington. And there you go. We had one day at average back on the 2nd, but every other day this month has featured above normal temperatures until today at 7 degrees below the seasonal average. Reagan National, which I'm sure will be busy all night, as planes are going to play that catch-up game for most of the evening hours now that skies are open again. Again, 44 degrees. Reagan National Airport, Dulles at 41, BWI Thurgood Marshall, 41 as well. clouds and we'll get used to this theme through the weekend here and there and you know we'll have cloud cover for a few hours some sun will break out and then more clouds move in. It's that type of weekend here in Washington. Reason why is actually that storm that brought us some rain showers yesterday and some snow. I'll show you how much snow a little later in the show up across interior portions of the northeast but it's still hanging out off the coast though it doesn't look too active on radar right now. What matters more is your wind direction which is coming right off those Great Lakes and that'll send DC occasional cloud cover in our Mountains to the west, occasional rain and even snow showers across some of the highest elevations out that way. Could get a few inches of snow there. Here in Washington, as we work our way through the weekend tomorrow, expect temperatures to, you know, again, in and out of the sunshine and a cooler feel much like today. High temperatures only expected to be in the lower 50s here in Washington most of the day in the 40s and with the wind chill factored in just about all day feeling. Like it'll be in the 40s here in Washington. So as we take you through your upcoming weekend here, Saturday's temperature, 52 degrees. Expect breezes to remain, well, rather consistent as we work our way through the course of the afternoon hours. And as we work our way into Sunday, we'll finally see those breezes starting to wind down just a little bit. So that'll allow temperatures to bubble up to about 55 degrees in the afternoon. But we'll see improvement in that department. Tonight, sun went down 4:56. Tomorrow, 455. Next week, 450. 4:47, as we get towards that Saturday, just after Thanksgiving, your earliest sunset of the year, less than a month away now, 4.45 p.m., and we'll actually start adding daylight on the sunset side of things prior to the winter solstice. Next week, a little bit of a warm-up in store. We will talk more about it coming up in just a little bit. Stay tuned. We have much more on that big-time FAA shutdown today, or the airspace shutdown, coming up after this short break.
