Friday looks promising for outdoor plans with plenty of sunshine and a bump up in afternoon temperatures as we head close to 60.

If you have Saturday plans, keep an eye on the forecast. It looks like another round of chilly rain arrives early and it may mix with or change to snow before ending. At this time models even show potential for some accumulation especially north and west of D.C.

Temperatures will be dropping through the 30s Saturday afternoon heading into a blustery and cold night with temperatures crashing into the low-to-mid 20s.

Sunday is bright but blustery and very brisk.
