DC Weather: Sunny skies for Veterans’ Day on Wednesday

Okay. Thank you, Sharon. Over here in the weather center, my friend Mike and November. It's becoming one I want to remember. I mean, this is a good month, right? Good month. It hasn't been bad at all. I mean, we've had some 60s. We've had some 70s. Now things are about to change a little bit, but that is not a typical of November, right? This is usually the month where DC hits at some point, usually later in the month. It's first kind of freezing day where the temperature at night gets below freezing here in Washington. So as we get deeper into this month, some signs of winter are certainly going to appear from time to time. And I think we'll see some of it this upcoming weekend here in Washington talking more about the temperature, at least in D.C. We're not talking about the snowfall just yet. 54 West Springfield, 55 Dale City, La Plata at 53 right now. So is Leonardtown, Montrose 54, Prince Frederick and Riva at 53. Beltsville down to 50, Leesburg 53, Clarksville 50. And we're going to dive down through the 40s and in some spots, particularly way north and west tonight, into the 30s. They shouldn't be as widespread as last night. But regardless, I mean, 41 versus 38. Still going to feel pretty similar out there, right? Temperature, satellite, or I'm sorry, satellite and radar showing you not much happening. Clear skies across the D.C. region. Up to the north, a couple of showers going through New England. Even some snow, just like this time last night, right? We had a couple of snow showers up in the mountains up that way, and yet they're getting that again this evening. Storm system starts to take shape tomorrow way out to the west. Now, ahead of it, some rain showers, even some thunderstorms possible. We're far enough ahead that it's not really going to impact us on the Veterans Day, Aside from pulling in a little bit more of a southern wind. Temperature is probably similar to this afternoon in many locations for at least the front half of it. Sky conditions very similar as well, expecting a decent amount of sunshine for the daylight hours here in D.C. Clouds then move in later in the afternoon, perhaps closer to sunset and beyond. We'll turn things cloudy ahead of that storm. So Veterans Day, how about 67 here in D.C.? That's not bad. That's exactly what we did today, right? 70 for Manassas, Quantico, 71 for Fredericksburg. Winds should generally remain light, perhaps tomorrow evening. They start kicking up just a little bit, but should be a nice day overall. By the time we get to Thursday, talking about some rain showers moving in ahead of that storm system. 62 and the early high in D.C. before some cooler air starts coming down from the north and from the west. Latest Fox model with that system showing it pushing its way through the Midwest through the day tomorrow. You see some of those thunderstorms going through Indiana and Ohio with it. Latest trends with it, though, it's a little moisture starved. And we've seen this several times this fall where a system, you know, three, four days in advance looks like it has a lot of moisture to it. And then it gets closer in, and yeah, the connection Connection's just not there. Still expecting some showers and kick up some showers even into the afternoon hours here in D.C. But does not look like a washout on your Thursday. Some sun may even poke through from time to time. That storm then gets off the coast, becomes an early season nor'easter. Not quite as strong as the one we had several weeks ago here in the D.C. region. But strong enough to pull down some cold Canadian air to change rain to snow up to the far north across interior portions of New England. Then during the day on Friday and into Saturday, some lake effect snow. May hit our mountains out to the west, but yeah first snowfall of the season for many coming up Friday and well, Thursday through Saturday, I should say, but not us here in DC, not expecting any flakes, but some chilly temperatures into the weekend. We'll talk about that weekend coming up a little later in the show. Jim.
