The coldest air of the season so far is moving in for the middle of this week around Washington, D.C., in the wake of Tuesday's snowstorm. A new storm will move in this weekend.
In the suburbs, temperatures will dip well down into the teens and could reach the single digits at night through Thursday. Around the city, temperatures may dip into the teens on one or more nights.
A breeze will add to the cold, producing RealFeel® temperatures near zero at times.
A storm will develop over the Deep South Friday and will head northeastward Saturday.

While warmer air and rain will move up with that storm, odds favor at least some snow, or icy mix for a brief time at the onset, Saturday with the potential for slippery roads for at time north and west of the city.
The wintry precipitation is likely to occur during the Army-Navy Classic Saturday afternoon at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. Enough snow and rain can fall to not only impact the game at Philadelphia, but also disrupt travel throughout the Northeast region.
The storm will have exited the Washington, D.C. area by Sunday.
More details will follow as the week progresses on AccuWeather.com.
