Yes, it's May -- but there's a chance you'll need your winter coat and an ice scraper for your car Tuesday morning.
We are so sorry about this.
The National Weather Service issued a freeze warning and a frost advisory for early Tuesday morning for parts of Maryland and Virginia north, west and southwest of the District.
Some areas may see frost early Tuesday morning, especially on grass and vegetation, Storm Team4 Chief Meteorologist Doug Kammerer said. Frost may also be visible on cars, so have that ice scraper ready just in case.
The freeze warning and frost advisory are in effect until 9 a.m. Tuesday.

It's going to be chilly Monday night -- temperatures will be in the mid to upper 30s in these regions of Maryland and Virginia. Storm Team4 expects D.C.-s temperatures to hover in the low to mid 40s overnight and into Tuesday morning. You may need your winter coat as you head out for your morning commute.
