Washington, D.C. – Get ready for a wild weather ride in the nation’s capital! If you’ve been enjoying the mild temperatures, don’t get too comfortable because things are about to take a sharp turn.
The next few days will bring everything from strong winds to temperature drops, and even a chance of rain. Here’s your essential forecast so you’re not caught off guard.
Thursday, March 6: The day will start out cloudy with temperatures reaching a high of 63°F (17°C). But don’t let that fool you—gusty winds of up to 36 mph will pick up later in the day. A few scattered showers could make an appearance in the late-night hours, so carrying an umbrella wouldn’t be a bad idea.
Friday, March 7: Cooler air moves in with a high of just 50°F (10°C). The sun will make occasional appearances, but don’t expect a completely clear sky. Winds will remain strong, making it feel even chillier than the actual temperature.
Saturday, March 8: A slight warm-up is on the way, with highs around 54°F (12°C). Expect mostly sunny skies during the day, but clouds will start rolling in later.
What You Should Do to Stay Safe
- Secure Your Belongings: With gusty winds expected, make sure to bring in or tie down any outdoor furniture, decorations, or trash cans.
- Layer Up: The temperatures are bouncing around, so dressing in layers will help you stay comfortable throughout the day.
- Stay Updated: Weather conditions can change quickly. Keep checking for updates before heading out.
While no extreme storms are expected, these shifting conditions could make for an unpredictable few days. Plan ahead and be ready for anything Mother Nature throws at D.C. this week!
