I could be out running errands, but everyone is telling me not even to leave the house. I'd never get back in time to miss the brouhaha.

A major drop in temperatures will follow a possible thunderstorm Saturday afternoon, following one of the warmest starts to October on record in the D.C. region.

A cold front will reach the Interstate 95 corridor early in the afternoon, bringing gusty winds and the risk of an isolated strong-to-severe thunderstorm to the D.C. area, according to NBC Washington meteorologist Chuck Bell.

The National Weather Service said “damaging wind gusts” could accompany the cold front.
