DC weather: Blustery cold Thanksgiving; snow, rain mix next week?

A warm day near 70 degrees Wednesday before temperatures drop into the 40s for Thanksgiving. FOX 5’s Taylor Grenda says keep an eye on a possible snow, rain mix next week.

WASHINGTON - A short-lived warmup will push highs near 70 degrees on Wednesday before temperatures plummet just in time for a blustery cold Thanksgiving.

Scattered showers and fog started the morning Wednesday, with lows in the 40s.

FOX 5’s Taylor Grenda says a warm front will lift highs into the upper 60s to near 70 ahead of a cold front sweeping in tonight.

By Thursday, the cold chill will take over. Lows tumble into the 30s overnight, and highs will struggle to reach the mid-40s by Thursday afternoon.

Black Friday shoppers can expect slightly colder conditions, with the chill continuing into the weekend. Showers return Sunday, followed by a mix of sun and clouds to start the workweek.

Looking ahead, FOX 5’s Tucker Barnes says Tuesday could bring a wintry mix of snow and rain as temperatures dip near 40 degrees. Barnes says this is an early look at the forecast and the FOX 5 Weather Team will continue to monitor any changes.
