The temperature roller-coaster ride will continue into St. Patrick's Day for the Washington, D.C. area.
After cloudy skies early Saturday, sunshine breaks through in the afternoon as highs reach the lower 60s.

However, the second half of the weekend, temperatures will be dropping. Despite the sunshine for the first half of the day, temperatures will struggle to reach the mid 40s in the afternoon.
"It's the typical roller-coaster ride of March," AccuWeather.com Senior Meteorologist Dave Dombek said. "March is notorious for huge temperature swings."
The District's normal temperatures this time of year are highs in the middle 50s during the day and lows in the upper 30s at night.
