WASHINGTON - Scattered showers that passed south overnight have departed and any lingering clouds will break for sunshine. FOX 5’s Sue Palka says it will be on the breezy side Wednesday and will be a bit chillier than Tuesday.

Early morning temperatures range from 35-40 degrees and afternoon temperatures will climb into the mid to upper-40s. It may feel even cooler due to the northwest breeze that will gust up to 25 mph.
