The weather in the D. C. area is taking a turn. After a windy Friday, Saturday is looking cool and breezy. The winds have calmed down a bit, blowing from the southwest at about nine miles per hour. Temperatures are expected to stay in the lower to mid-40s during the day and drop to the lower to mid-30s at night.

Looking ahead, things are heating up. A high-pressure system is moving in, bringing warmer air to much of the U. S. This means the D. C. area can expect temperatures to rise steadily throughout the week. By Christmas, the forecast is calling for morning showers and afternoon temperatures around 60 degrees.

If you're planning to travel this weekend, be prepared for potential weather delays. Areas out west and around the Great Lakes might see some disruptions. So, pack accordingly and keep an eye on the forecast.
