After snow, sleet and freezing rain, it will be a cold but sun-filled weekend in the D.C. area. The wet weather will be drying and clearing today, but could be icy to start. It will feel like single-digits Saturday morning. “Be prepared for a cold blast as you head outside,” said Storm Team4 meteorologist Briana Bermensolo. Saturday afternoon temperatures will feel like the teens and 20s with wind chills. Actual temperatures will be in the 30s on Saturday and in the mid to upper 30s on Sunday. A wintry mix returns on Monday, Bermensolo said. Watch for snow and rain for the morning commute and then a switchover to rain for the afternoon drive on Monday. There is good news for temperatures later in the week.
