Lows: 16°-22°

The coldest morning in 4 years in Washington when the temperature dropped to 15 at Reagan National Airport. The cold isn't over by a long shot, either.

An Alberta Clipper will move through our exceptionally dry air late Wednesday night and overnight into Thursday. We could perhaps see a dusting as shown by our in-house computer model below.ZZZZZSo, a dusting on cold, dry surfaces would cause slick spots. Otherwise, it will be cold and dry Thursday. We continue to watch computer models struggle with two atmospheric features which could produce several hours of light snow during the day on Friday.

No major snowfall is expected at all, though. But even minor accumulations on very cold surfaces could adversely affect travel. Stay tuned.
