Despite lots of sun, high temperatures were only within a few degrees of 40 in most spots. Add in those winds, and wind chills didn’t get out of the 30s in much of the area. It’s a similar story through Tuesday as cold and breezy conditions are set to continue.
Through Tonight: Other than a few high clouds at times, we’re mainly clear into the night. Lows will be in the mid-20s to about 30. Winds will decrease in the evening but become gusty again toward dawn, when wind chills dip to around 20. They’ll be sustained about 10 mph out of the northwest.

Tomorrow (Tuesday): Sunny skies are back. As are cold temperatures. Afternoon readings will try for the low and mid-40s. Winds will be frustratingly strong out of the northwest around 10 to 15 mph. That means gusts near 30 mph. Wind chills will top out in the 30s.

Winter: We’ve got two big pieces of news today. The first is that our normal high has fallen into the 40s in D.C. We stay there until Feb. 24, before rising to 50 the next day. But perhaps even more important, we’re starting to gain evening light already!
Tonight is the earliest sunset of the year in Washington, DC. Starting tomorrow we begin gaining time in the evening (even though we still lose daylight overall), and keep gaining in the evening through roughly June 28!
