This cold weather snap is sponsored by Pepco.
Get ready for a BIG temperature drop.

Highs in the 50s today with maybe a passing shower, but then a strong cold front could briefly change evening rain showers to overnight snow showers. Temps tumble into the 20s by Thurs morning. Thurs wind chills in the teens and 20s.

Too soon to declare a DOOM warning.
Snowflakes may fall Wednesday night as Arctic front passes ❄️

It’s not much, but we — snow lovers — will take anything we can get. Rain showers especially after sunset. Could turn to snowflakes overnight before ending. Conversational. Maybe a grassy coating. Much colder Thurs.

Trump Administration’s stunning batting average in appellate courts is no accident: Trump appeals judges rule in his favor at an unprecedented rate - especially on administrative stays. And SCOTUS is just as favorable to WH in its rulings.
