Temperatures continue to run cooler to colder than normal, including overnight lows in the 30s, with a frost and freeze threat especially in our suburbs. The weekend trends a bit warmer with some sunshine.

Today (Tuesday): Cloudy with light rain through midmorning through midafternoon as temperatures struggle, remaining fairly steady in the chilly mid-40s to low 50s. This is the coolest day since early April, so don’t go out without a jacket unless you really love the chill. Winds from the northwest at 5 to 10 mph. Confidence: Medium-High
Tonight: A few lingering early-evening showers are possible followed by clearing skies overnight as temperatures move colder. Lows ranging through the 30s will compel most of us to get that heat running if we haven’t already. Frost is possible outside the Beltway, and areas north and west of the Beltway could flirt with the freezing mark. Light winds from the northwest at about 5 mph. Confidence: Medium-High

A look ahead
Thursday sees more clouds than sun, thanks to a system developing off the coast, as high temperatures run cooler than normal in the low to middle 50s. Cloud cover may linger Thursday evening with clearing skies again overnight and lows in the 30s to low 40s. Confidence: Medium
