PM Update: Freeze warning for the immediate area and points east tonight

eastward to the bay *

A mix of sun and clouds helped hold temperatures back today. Highs mainly in the low 50s are about 10 degrees below normal for the date. With relatively light winds, any leaf-peeping walks felt pretty good. Chilly conditions persist tonight and through tomorrow. A freeze warning is up for the city and surrounds for the potential of lows near freezing.

Through Tonight: With clearer skies than last night, it should be a notch colder. Temperatures are mainly in a 29 to 37 range for lows, with some frost areawide. Indeed, much of the area away from downtown or a body of water may get near or below freezing tonight, hence the freeze warnings, even though Washington is unlikely to get there officially. Any plants you’re still trying to keep alive outdoors will need tending.

Tomorrow (Friday): Sunshine dominates. Most locations locally make the low 50s, with perhaps mid-50s in the city, and closer to 50 in elevated spots north and west. Winds are light from the north. Not bad, if a little brisk!

November chill: With a near-guarantee of 30s tonight for D.C., it’ll be the third night in the 30s during the first five days of November. Prior to this year, we haven’t even seen one night in the 30s during the first days of the month since 2006, with the last time featuring three being 1951. Should the temperature reach 35, as in the forecast image above, it’ll be almost exactly on the current average of Nov. 6.
