PM Update: Wind advisory Saturday afternoon as another cold front moves through

Temperatures are chilly this holiday weekend but warming on Presidents’ Day.

* Wind advisory Saturday from 12 to 7 p.m. *

It was in the mid-60s during the predawn hours as a cold front knocked on our door. By midafternoon, some spots fell to around 40 as winds frequently gusted above 40 mph. They peaked at 49 mph in both Washington and Dulles. Baltimore made it up to 65 mph! While we lose the wind tonight, it’ll be back with another front tomorrow. Chillier weather is the rule the next few days. Then it’s warming up by Monday.

Through tonight: Winds drop off quickly with sunset. That’s helpful since it will be a chilly one. With few clouds around, we’re in the 30s by mid-evening. Lows make the mid-20s to around 30.

Tomorrow (Saturday): Temperatures get to about 50 before the front passes. Temperatures probably fall back through the 40s during the afternoon on strong winds out of the northwest. Those winds blow around 20 to 25 mph sustained, with gusts around 40 or 50 mph.

Sunday: Coming off very cold lows in the midteens to mid-20s, it’s a sunny but chilly Sunday. High temperatures are in the mid-40s or so. Winds are a bit gusty, but less so than today and tomorrow.

Presidents’ Day (Monday): It’s not quite as cold to start. Morning lows are in the upper 20s to mid-30s. Under mainly sunny skies, we head back into a warmer spell of several days as highs rise to near 60.
