| TUESDAY, DECEMBER 24, 2024 TODAY, CHRISTMAS EVE:
WINTER ALERT
Morning Wintry Mix
Afternoon Clearing
Highs: 40-45
Winds: Light
Our next weather maker will move into the region early this morning bringing a chance for a wintry mix. The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory until 1 p.m. for possible road impacts. Precipitation may start as light snow in our northwest zones before transitioning to freezing rain. It will look like rain falling from the sky, but with such low temperatures the past few days, surface temperatures are below freezing, so a glaze of ice is possible on untreated roads, sidewalks, and more. The highest impact in the D.C. Metro will be between 7-10 a.m. with the precipitation ending from south to north before noon. The afternoon will feature gradual clearing with more seasonable highs in the 40s.
OVERNIGHT, CHRISTMAS EVE:
Scattered Clouds
Temperatures: 31-36
Wind: North 3-8 mph
Plan for a dry and cold Christmas Eve. Santa won't have to deal with any precipitation when he arrives to the DMV. Overnight lows will fall below freezing in a few neighborhoods north and west of Washington. WEDNESDAY, CHRISTMAS DAY:
Partly Sunny
Highs: 40-45
Winds: North 5-10 mph
A cold start Christmas Day will give way to highs in the 40s. Plan for a mix of sun and clouds. This evening marks the first night of Hanukkah, which is rather later this year. The last time the first night fell on Christmas Day was in 2005. Prior to that, 1910, 1921 and 1959.
THURSDAY:
Partly Sunny
Highs: around 45
Winds: North 3-8 mph
Post holiday shoppers will enjoy partly sunny skies along with highs in the 40s.
FRIDAY:
Scattered Clouds
Highs: 45-50
Winds: Southeast 3-8 mph
A shift in wind direction will signal a push of milder air across the DMV. Highs for many neighborhoods will reach the 50s.
