Summer-Like Temps Thursday Could Bring Scattered Showers in the Evening

Unseasonably warm temperatures continue throughout the area on Thursday, lending a feel more akin to summer than the tail-end of winter.

Though temperatures remained warm Wednesday night, hovering in the 50s and 60s, a slight cold front will pass through the area Thursday night, bringing temperatures down into the 40s.

Sunshine will lead the way into potential rain Thursday night, up to a quarter of an inch, says the National Weather Service (NWS). Any rain is expected to dissipate by daybreak though, as showers move south of the D.C. Metro area.

Slightly cooler temperatures with highs around 70 and clear skies are expected for Friday, according to the NWS.
