Freeze Warning in effect across DC region Tuesday morning
A Freeze Warning remains in effect until 10 a.m. for much of the Washington, D.C. region, including the District, central, northern, and southern Maryland and portions of central and northern Virginia.
WASHINGTON - Cold conditions gripped the Washington, D.C., region overnight, with temperatures dipping below freezing in several areas.
FOX 5’s Taylor Grenda reports that the growing season has already begun across much of the area, prompting a Freeze Warning until 10 a.m. Tuesday for the District, Maryland and parts of northern Virginia. Grenda said it was an unusually sharp drop for April, when early‑spring swings are more common.
What we know:
Clear skies and light winds contributed to cooling, with some locations remaining below freezing for several hours. Frost may form on grassy surfaces and windshields, and sensitive plants should be indoors until the cold passes.
Temperatures may briefly fall into the 20s in some areas before conditions warm later in the morning. The day is expected to remain dry.
After the cold start, temperatures are expected to rebound into the 60s by the afternoon under mostly sunny skies. Highs around 62 degrees are expected Tuesday, with some clouds arriving toward the evening.
