D.C. area forecast: Seasonable winter chill and sunny skies today last through weekend Posted at 05:00 AM ET, 01/03/2013 Today: Plenty of sun and calm. I know it is January and it is supposed to be cold but it does not mean I have to like it. Wake me when it is March. SPI: 1 (→) - Sunny skies do not bode well for snow lovers over the next week. Wintertime temperatures are in place for the next 5 days for a change. However, the sunshine is in full control, so snow lovers will have to make plans for their favorite ski resort. The dry weather should aid all those weekend errands and make for a good evening for the big Redskins game on Sunday. Today (Thursday): The brisk morning struggles to gain much warmth despite the non-stop sunshine. Light winds help to keep it from being too painful. Highs do no better than upper 30s to lower 40s. Confidence: High Tonight: High pressure keeps the stars in full view but also allows for a good chill down. Lows drop to the low-to-mid 20s even downtown. Tomorrow (Friday): Sunny skies are still on the menu but there is a bit more wind in the mix, out of the west as 10-15 mph, which thwarts the slightly higher temperatures from feeling any better. Highs are mainly in the lower 40s. Tomorrow night: Clear skies remain unchallenged. Great for stargazing if you aren't shivering too hard. Lows hold in the mid-to-upper 20s. Saturday is yet another in a string of sunny (boring) days. I know I shouldn't press my luck, but not much to talk about. Highs should be in the low-to-mid 40s. The overnight remains mostly clear. Lows drop to the mid-20s burbs to near 30 downtown. Sunday should actually havea few clouds for a change but chances of anything falling out of them is close to nil. The sun should still be sneaking through with some regularity. Highs are mainly lower 40s. Temperatures only slowly drop off in the evening, at least keeping Fed Ex Field above freezing for the big game. Lows end up in the mid-20s outside the beltway to lower 30s downtown. Monday is back to sunshine as usual but still a chilly day. Highs should crest in the lower 40s.
