❄️ CWG Live: Flurries possible tonight 🤏 Dusting risk mainly north of town 🌤️ Sunny but breezy Sunday 📈 Turning milder starting Tuesday 📢 CWG.live

A few standout facts from DC's 2025 weather 👇 • Coolest year since 2014 • Dry year: 35.56" of rain, the least since 2016 • Snowier than recent years: 16.3" total — most since 2016 • Only one record high (85° on March 31); no record cold days • Extremes: 99° (June 24) to 15° (Jan. 22–23)

Welcome to the first weekend of 2026! Big surprise, it's a cold one. HOWEVER, a January thaw arrives midweek Snow shower possible tonight, but it's a struggle to even get a dusting Warming trend begins Tues 📈 Wed-Fri highs in the 50s, maybe 60s🌡️ Full forecast: cwg.live

Sorry, snow lovers :( You're welcome, snow haters! Just a chance of flurries or a lonesome snow shower Saturday night. Maybe a flurry north of town Monday. With a warm-up next week, snow potential may not return until the second half of January, which may trend colder again.

🌤️ Who’s ready for a January thaw? Starting Tues of next week, we have very high chances of above normal temps and could see a 60-degree day or two later in the week. Details at cwg.live

Not as chilly today -- but still below average. That's the story through the weekend. Can't totally rule out a few flakes Saturday night but odds favor precipitation missing our area. Full forecast: www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2026...

Interesting perspective. Snow squalls can be and have been deadly for motorists. But whether a wireless alert was needed in this situation a tough call... with relatively few people on the road (430a on New Year's Day). We have a thread on this on our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/capitalweath...

Our January outlook is out! * We're predicting ANOTHER colder than average month (after coldest Dec since 2010). 4 of last 5 months colder than norm. * Cold start to month, mild second week, cold close. * We project ~average snow but low confidence. Details: www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2026...

Happy 2026! It's cold. Temps 25-30 w/ wind chills in teens. Highs today struggle to reach 32. While we're watching a storm to south (which would bring snow if it crept far enough north), dry weather probably dominates thru weekend! Full forecast at cwg.live

@capitalweather.bsky.social 0530 in Reston

545a: Snow squall pushing southeastward about to sweep across Route 50 from Annapolis to just west of DC. Quick burst of snow and gusty winds will briefly reduce visibility but lasts just 15 mins or so. Share your reports. Full forecast at cwg.live

Temperatures drop a few degrees through evening. Here's the forecast for readings at midnight. Mainly near and below freezing west of Interstate 95, with near or above freezing expected east/southeast. Any snow holds off till the pre-dawn. Forecast updated at cwg.live.

It’s the coldest December in Washington since 2010! Only eight days had above average temperatures. 🥶🧊 With a preliminary average of 37.3 we'll be about 4.4 degrees below average for the month. January starts quite cold as well. Details at cwg.live.

The seasons of 2025: January 6, 2025 March 28, 2025 July 16, 2025 November 8, 2025 @capitalweather.bsky.social

Heads-up: Super quick burst of snow possible before dawn New Year's Day... may not amount to much/anything but may reduce visibility and come down hard for a few mins. Best chance in NW part of DC region. Details at cwg.live

A couple pre-dawn flakes in the area did not amount to anything. Not quite as chilly today but still below average temperatures. Around freezing for the ball drop tonight. Another Arctic blast on the way for New Year's Day. Forecast details at: www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2025...

Wind chills mainly in a near 20 to mid-20s range this afternoon. As warm as they get for now before dropping back into the teens tonight. We will finally see gusts diminish more notably late night! Details and forecast update at cwg.live.

Ending 2025 and starting 2026 with the chance for snowflakes. Generally, a flurry to a coating type of deal for each, but cold temperatures help anything that is heavy enough to stick. Details at cwg.live.

Gravity/mountain waves are prominent and visually extend further southeast than typical on satellite this morning. Lots of wind out of the northwest. Also plenty of turbulence for flying in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast.

Wind advisory extended through noon for all but southernmost parts of the area. Gusts increasing again this morning, occasionally reaching 45 to perhaps 50 mph. Wind chills in the teens this morning and 20s later today. Forecast details: www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2025...

The forecast of high winds in the DMV came to fruition. Our local Barred #Owl couple, Harry & Bess, riding it out. #Birds @capitalweather.bsky.social

💨 Widespread 45-50 mph gusts behind the front this afternoon. Here are preliminary peak readings. DC one of the high gusts of the day -- now upped to 54 mph in climate report just out. Easing somewhat tonight but wind chills dip to the teens with lows in the 20s. 🥶 Details at cwg.live.

Clouds are fantastic right now. These ones are being illuminated from below by reflection off the Potomac @capitalweather.bsky.social

Saturday’s Sunrise over #DC! #NoFilter @capitalweather.bsky.social @meteormolly.bsky.social

Happy Saturday! Mid to upper 30s early this morning and headed into the 40s today. A touch milder Sunday and warmer Monday but more rain showers in the forecast. Our next big cold shot is here for Tuesday. Forecast details: www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2025...

Special weather statement from NWS on some patchy freezing rain in Montgomery and Howard counties. Anything more significant is north of these areas. Still extra caution, just in case, if out and about.

Beautiful sunrise this morning. @capitalweather.bsky.social

Still near or below 32 parts of the area with more precipitation redeveloping into evening. 29-30 for greater ice concerns. Marginal temps are why winter weather advisories trimmed back to only include northern MD. Mainly cold scattered rain showers around here as far as impacts. More @ cwg.live.

Worst of the imminent wintry storm will miss our area to the north. Mainly rain around DC with a little ice toward northern Md. Significant ice in western PA plus heavy snow in SE NY and areas near there. Get all the details: www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2025...

Chilly today -- highs in the 30s. Wintry mix arrives this afternoon into evening. A little sleet, mostly rain near the northern Beltway and south. Freezing rain my cause slick spots north. Somewhat milder this weekend behind the storm. Forecast and details: www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2025...

Good morning. It's a pretty sunrise on this day after Christmas! @capitalweather.bsky.social

Winter weather advisory from noon Friday to midnight for western and northern Loudoun, northern Montgomery, Howard, and locations north. A coating of sleet and about 0.05-0.1 inch of freezing rain could impact evening commute, cause slick spots. Mostly rain south. Latest forecast at cwg.live.

Christmas rainbow in DC @capitalweather.bsky.social

FRI NIGHT ICE: Precip down, temps up. Ice risk near and south of the northern Beltway quite minimal, maybe tree limbs type deal. Northern suburbs could still see some minor icing, including on untreated walkways/roadways. Quick hitter: mainly Fri eve to 2-4a Sat. Details: cwg.live.

Merry Christmas! A few showers around, will end by lunchtime, then a little clearing. Still watching the chance for some iciness Friday afternoon and night but trending a touch less cold and icy as we close in. Main risk northernmost suburbs. Forecast: www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2025...

Traveling north late Friday? Might want to change plan. In addition to ice potential near here, zone of moderate to heavy snow northern Mid-Atlantic to parts of NY/New England. ❄️❄️❄️ Winter storm watch NYC -- half a foot or more forecast there. Details @ cwg.live.

A wintry mix seems likely in the DC area Friday-Friday night. Some areas, especially northern zones, could see icing impacts linger into Sat morning. Some icy roads and sidewalks are possible around the Beltway if temps drop to freezing or below, which is still uncertain.

We're giving today a 7/10 as sunshine and highs near 50 are pleasant enough for holiday errands, though it's rather breezy. Maybe a spotty rain shower Christmas morning, then a wintry mix likely Fri PM. Some icing impacts possible, especially north of DC. Full forecast: cwg.live

Chances are increasing for a period of wintry mix Friday into Friday night. But the question remains, how far south into the DC region will surface temperatures be cold enough for any icing impacts? The colder northern half of the region has the highest chance of icing. More at cwg.live

7:07 am: Some light rain in the area this morning with temperatures in the mid- and upper 30s most spots. Ending over the next 1-3 hours from west to east. Not amounting to much -- just a couple hundredths of an inch -- but will slow the commute a bit.

Tues digit — 3/10: Damp and chilly this morning, but dry and somewhat warmer this afternoon despite lingering clouds. After light rain, maybe a bit of mix north of DC, exits by late this morning, highs range from mid-40s NE to upper 50s SW this afternoon (see map). Full forecast at cwg.live
