After a very chilly start this morning, temperatures have rebounded into the low and mid 60s this afternoon as a sun-filled sky brings what little warmth it can muster. Pleasant but cool conditions will last through the evening as skies remain mostly clear.

Tonight: Another cold one is expected overnight, though it won't be quite as cold as last night. Most or all places should stay above freezing as temperatures drop as low as the mid 30s in the coolest suburbs to the low or mid 40s in D.C. Winds will be light and variable.

Tomorrow: Tuesday should be the warmest day of the week as temperatures rise into the mid and upper 60s ahead of the next cold front. The cold front will move through mid-day and winds will whip up from the northwest with some gusts as high as 30 mph into the evening. Very dry conditions of recent will combine with these winds (and low humidity) to create a fire risk. The National Weather Service has issued a fire weather watch for this threat.
