D.C.-area forecast: Clearing and blustery in the wake of overnight snow
Today (Saturday): Breaks in the clouds behind the overnight snow become more numerous. Some snow showers or flurries might remain around through 8 or 9 a.m. Otherwise, stories of the day include gusty winds — plus a lot of sledding. Highs should rise to within a few degrees of 40. Winds blow from the north and northwest around 10 to 20 mph, with gusts to 30 or 35 mph. Confidence: Medium-High
Tonight: Winds diminish, and skies remain largely clear. Add in the snow. It’s somewhat diminished, but still covering most of the area and it’ll be a cold night. Lows range from the upper teens to the mid-20s. Confidence: Medium-High

Tomorrow night: It should remain clearer than not. Lows make the 20s in the coldest spots to perhaps around freezing downtown. Confidence: Medium-High
Pretty decent for Presidents’ Day on Monday. Sunshine dominates and temperatures head for the upper 40s to near 50. Similar Tuesday, but perhaps a few degrees warmer and maybe some more clouds floating by overhead. Confidence: Medium
