This President\u2019s Day has been a gray and dreary one. Most of this morning\u2019s showers have since moved out of the region, but the cloud cover lingered well into the afternoon. The showers and clouds are associated with a\u00a0warm front that is a part of a large system currently centered over the Midwest. Today\u2019s temperatures rose slowly into the 40\u2019s, maxing out at 43\u00b0F around 3 PM.<\/p>\n

Through Tonight<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today\u2019s cloudiness should persist into the overnight hours. That, along with the southerly winds, will keep temperatures from dropping too much tonight. Temperatures should remain in the low-40\u2019s across the DMV. Winds will stay out of the south at 5-10 mph. Some areas may also see patches of fog.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow (Tuesday):<\/strong><\/p>\n

You should be able to put away your heavy coats and umbrellas for a while as we move into the mid-week. A major warmup is underway for tomorrow. Tuesday morning should start out cloudy with some areas of patchy fog. Skies should start clearing by early afternoon as a large ridge of high-pressure will build in from the south. Winds will pick up out of the southwest at 5-15 mph. This will help our daytime temperatures to soar well into the 70\u2019s. We may even see some records broken across the area. This little taste of springtime should continue into the day on Wednesday, which has the potential to be the warmest day of the week.<\/p>\n
