Possible Showers and Below-Average Temperatures Followed by Weekend Cooling Trend in D.C. Area

A cold front is bringing cooler and drier air from the far northeast, near Labrador, resulting in below-average temperatures in the mid-to-upper 70s. Easterly breezes gusting near 25 mph may only slowly settle by dawn, and clouds and rain chances increase a bit more as the night progresses. A passing shower or storm is possible as the back-door cold front continues to move southwestward through the region. Northeasterly winds bring a one-day tongue of air from near Labrador, but luckily any cool-air shock for the D.C. area is very limited for us this time.
