Icy Travel North: D.C. Weather Mix Today

The northern suburbs face the highest risk of encountering icy conditions today, as a wintry mix moves into the region. Travel disruptions are possible, particularly north and west of D.C., where a light accumulation of ice and snow may occur. While the immediate D.C. area is likely to see mainly rain this evening, farther north, up to 0.10 inches of freezing rain could create slippery surfaces overnight.

Following the chilly weather and potential for ice, a milder trend is set to begin on Saturday. Temperatures are expected to reach the low to mid-40s, with clouds lingering. This warming pattern will continue into Sunday, with highs approaching 50 degrees, accompanied by overcast skies and a chance of light rain showers.

The transition to almost warm weather arrives on Monday, bringing rain showers and highs in the 50s to near 60 degrees. This period of warmer weather will be short-lived, as a return to chillier conditions with sunshine is predicted for Tuesday, with highs possibly in the mid-30s.
