EVENING UPDATE: UNSEASONABLE WARMTH SURGES RECORD-BREAKING TEMPERATURES. COMFORTABLE WITH MINOR RAIN SHOWERS AFTER MIDNIGHT.

A friendly warm front fueled many record-breaking temperatures across the DMV region today. Across our three major airports, high temperatures soared to the upper 60’s and lower 70’s. Here is a comparison of the record highs and today’s observed high temperatures:

Through Tonight: Rest your heaters and crack your windows tonight! Mostly cloudy skies and breezy 10-15 mph southwest winds will provide sufficient warmth to keep lows above 50 degrees. Temperatures will range from the low-to-mid 50’s. After midnight, there’s a minor threat for light patchy showers in the District and around the Capital Beltway. Secure your outside items. Winds could gust as high as 20 mph.
