WASHINGTON - After a relatively mild and windy Monday, temperatures are dropping dramatically across the DMV on Tuesday. 

It's going to be a bitter cold day, with highs topping out in the mid-30s. 

Big dip:

Some parts of our region reached over 60 degrees on Monday, but that dipped significantly by the evening. 

Coupled with heavy wind gusts – reaching up to 55 mph – the DMV went from a mild afternoon to blustery cold. 

It is expected to be sunny on Tuesday, despite the cold. 

What's next:

Those chilly temperatures will hang around throughout the week, even bringing a chance of flurries in the very early morning hours on New Year's Day.
