DC weather: No snow yet but coldest temps of the season next week
No snow – but FOX 5’s Tucker Barnes says D.C. is bracing for a hard freeze and the season’s coldest temps next week.
WASHINGTON - You may have seen talk online about snow chances in the D.C. area next week - but you won’t need the snow boots or shovels just yet!
No snow yet
FOX 5’s Tucker Barnes says what you will need is a heavy coat and warm gloves. The region is bracing for the coldest temperatures of the season, with a hard freeze likely early next week. That means temperatures could dip to 28 degrees or lower for an extended period.
Hard freeze expected
Downtown D.C. may also see its first official freeze of the season, signaling the end of the growing season across the DMV. Residents should bring sensitive plants indoors and insulate outdoor water lines to prevent bursting.
While the District isn’t expecting snow, areas farther north and west, especially parts of Pennsylvania and New York, could see their first flakes of the season.
