Winter's Revenge: Freeze Advisory Issued for Tuesday Morning

Don't put away that winter coat just yet. The National Weather Service has issued a freeze warning in Lorton and most of the DC metro area from 3 a.m. to 9 a.m. Tuesday. Temperatures are expected to be in the upper 20s to low 30s. 

"Unseasonably cold air is already pouring into the Northeast," according to the Capital Weather Gang. "Temperatures have fallen back into the 40s in much of Pennsylvania and 30s in New York State. Locations in northern Maine that were around 80 last Thursday are now only in the 20s!" 

Be careful with that spring garden. Unprotected vegetation could be harmed in areas that experience temperatures below 28 degrees for more than three hours. 

Warm Weather, Slowly But Surely

Tuesday afternoon will be sunny with a high of 55 degrees and a low of about 35.  

Expect thunderstorms on Wednesday. "Some of these thunderstorms could produce large hail and damaging winds… particularly across Southern areas," according to the National Weather Service.

The rest of the week will see temperatures rising steadily. There will be a high temperature of 63 on Thursday and a low of 42; Friday will be sunny with a high of 62; Saturday will be mostly sunny with a high of 67 and low of 50 and Sunday will be partly sunny with a high near 65 and a low of 47.
