Capital Weather Gang: D.C.-area forecast: Partly sunny and chilly today, some warmth returns later this week

Tomorrow (Wednesday): It’s partly sunny again as temperatures inch warmer. We should get to the lower to middle 60s by afternoon. Light breezes are from the west at around 5 mph. Confidence: High

Tomorrow night: Mostly clear and cool with lows ranging from the upper 30s to middle 40s. Confidence: High

A LOOK AHEAD

Thursday aims for mostly sunny skies and warmer weather as highs trek toward the middle 60s. Thursday night offers up just a few clouds with lows in the warmer 40s. Confidence: High

Friday is a Nice Day qualifier as highs head for near 70 degrees under sunny skies. Friday night looks partly cloudy and warmer with lows from the middle 40s to low 50s. Confidence: High

The weekend is complicated. Warmth gives way to clouds Saturday with late-day showers. Highs should hit the middle 60s before cooling down. A vigorous cold front comes through Saturday night, which gives us a chance of seeing a few snowflakes (“conversational,” if you will) as lows plummet into the 30s. Sunday skies clear out, but it is much cooler with highs in the upper 40s to low 50s. Confidence: Medium
