Pre-Halloween frost advisory issued in DC area

The District and surrounding area could wake up to a frost Sunday morning.

The National Weather Service issued a frost advisory for portions of Maryland, D.C. and Northern Virginia from 2 a.m. to 10 a.m. Sunday.



Gardeners and those with a green thumb should protect vulnerable plants from a potential frost. And anyone with a jack-o’-lantern out front should consider bringing it inside and safe from freezing temperatures — which could cause all that hard work to rot out, according to Smithsonian Magazine.

D.C. can expect temperatures close to 40, and the suburbs might get into the low 30s.

Mother Nature can ‘fool’ DC region with swings in April 1 weather

Just as we flip the calendar to April early this weekend, we are reminded just how much Mother Nature can "fool" D.C. residents with the weather. Transition seasons such as fall and spring provide D.C. with an array of weather with temperatures bouncing around, rain, thunderstorms and even snowflakes in the mix. April 1 presents its own challenges for meteorologists.
