       An afternoon surge of warm air led to some record-breaking temperatures across the region this afternoon. Dulles and Baltimore-Washington International Marshall airports both hit 78 degrees, breaking records of 70 degrees (from 2004) and 76 degrees (from 1935). Reagan National, which also hit 78, fell just shy of its record of 81 degrees from 1961. More records will probably fall Monday, as we are likely to see temperatures hit the 80-degree mark before a sharp drop-off after a cold frontal passage later Monday.

       Through tonight: Scattered showers and gusty winds will continue through the evening hours. Eventually, both the precipitation and wind will ease overnight, leaving us with mild and mostly cloudy conditions. Low temperatures will probably remain between 55 and 60 degrees, which would be good enough for record “high” lows for the date.

       Tomorrow (Monday): The morning hours will be cloudy and mild. Gusty southwest winds (15 to 35-plus mph) will probably push temperatures close to 80 degrees by early afternoon, good enough for record warmth at all three of the DMV climate sites.

       Here are the records highs that have a strong chance of being broken:

       Reagan National: 77 from 1961 Dulles: 76 from 1974 BWI: 76 from 1975

       Showers and even a rumble of thunder or two move through in the late afternoon (after 2 p.m.), with some heavy downpours and embedded gusty winds possible. It will be cloudy and much cooler Monday night, with temperatures ranging from 40 to 45 degrees and winds from the northwest at 10 to 15 mph.
