D.C.-area forecast: Gusty showers early today are followed by bitter wind chills
Today is a blast, just not the kind most will enjoy. A strong cold front arrives at dawn with a band of rain and possible snow showers. Wind gusts to 50 mph threaten to have any Christmas displays airborne and foster wind chills in the 20s. The cold and wind linger into tomorrow but, take heart, by Sunday a real warm up gets underway.
