       It was in the mid-60s during the predawn hours as a cold front knocked on our door. By midafternoon, some spots fell to around 40 as winds frequently gusted above 40 mph. They peaked at 49 mph in both Washington and Dulles. Baltimore made it up to 65 mph! While we lose the wind tonight, it’ll be back with another front tomorrow. Chillier weather is the rule the next few days. Then it’s warming up by Monday.
