Another frost advisory posted in DC region to begin the weekend

The D.C. region is getting a taste of things to come this winter. After a frost advisory was posted Thursday night into Friday, another is posted Friday night and into Saturday morning.

Friday’s temperatures were unseasonably cool heading into the frosty overnight hours.

“Temperature-sensitive plants may be in jeopardy. A freeze warning has been posted a little farther to the north and west. This will likely signal the end to the growing season for Loudoun, northern Montgomery and Frederick counties,” 7News First Alert Meteorologist Steve Rudin said.

Northwesterly breezes added an extra chill to the air Friday with a mix of sun and clouds. High temperatures peaked in the low 60s, which is below average for late October in the D.C. area.

Friday night brings mainly clear skies and lows ranging from 32 to 44 degrees in a dry and chilly night. Patchy frost is possible for counties west of I-95.

Hot, humid week ahead for DC area with severe storm risk

A dangerous heat wave will grip the D.C. area through Thursday, with highs in the mid to upper 90s and heat index values between 100 and 105. Hot and humid conditions are expected through Thursday, according to the National Weather Service, which said to expect daily thunderstorm chances and a risk of severe thunderstorms. 7News Meteorologist Eileen Whelan told WTOP that most of Tuesday will stay dry, but a few late-day thunderstorms are possible, especially north and east of D.C. as storms drift south from Pennsylvania. Any storm could produce damaging wind gusts and hail, but Whelan reiterated "storm chances are low" on Tuesday.
