Clearing skies Sunday night as another cold front enters the DC area

November closes out with somewhat of a wintry mix Sunday, with cloudy conditions that offer up a chance of rain and snowflakes.
After a cloudy Sunday with a few showers early on, the night should see clearing skies in the D.C. region as overnight temperatures take a dip downward.
7News First Alert Meteorologist Mark Peña said the clearing skies will be followed by another cold front sweeping the area, which will “kick up the winds gusting to 25 miles per hour.”
“Tomorrow there will be lots of sunshine to enjoy, but temperatures will remain chilly,” Peña told WTOP.
Temperatures will remain in the 40s on Monday, about 10 degrees below normal for this time of year, Peña said.
Monday night we might see another “weathermaker,” according to Peña, as rain and snow may mix overnight and into the morning. We could see small, slushy snow accumulations early in the morning before turning into a cold rain during the afternoon when temperatures rise above freezing..
While Wednesday and Thursday will offer up 40-degree conditions, the bone-chilling temperatures will make their grand return by Friday, when highs are expected to stay in the upper 30s to low 40s.
Those Friday conditions could set the stage for another wintry mix, Peña said.
