The D.C. area is in for another blustery, wind-chilled day on Thursday, then near-freezing temperatures overnight.
Strong northwest winds will average 20-30 mph — with gusts between 35-45 mph — most of the afternoon, Storm Team4 Meteorologist Chuck Bell said.
Temperatures will only get above 50° for a few hours Thursday afternoon.
By Thursday night, temps will drop into the 30s again, and frost or freeze warnings are possible. The wind is set to ease up after sunset.
