A Thanksgiving holiday which blew in on light snow and unseasonably cold winds had Washington area residents heading for the
wood pile. (One of the advantages of the dead-tree media over the online version is that their product can be used as kindling.) Following the brisk start, however, the weekend is going out like a lamb. After the official low this morning of 27, which was still 10 degrees below normal, temperatures were rebounding nicely into the upper 30s by mid morning, heading for
highs in the upper 40s under sunny skies.
Tonight, lows will be in the
mid 30s in town, near 30 in the 'burbs.
Sunday will bring a return of seasonable temperatures in the
mid 50s with increasing clouds in the afternoon.
