"Some sunshine is in store with early afternoon temperatures in the lower 50s F, which will slip back into the upper 40s during the tree lighting ceremony early in the evening," Erickson said.
People who mind cool weather may want to wear a warm jacket.
A breeze will average 10-20 mph and will make for AccuWeather RealFeel® Temperatures in the lower 40s during much of the day.
"The breeze will diminish toward evening," Erickson said.
People staying in town will have a stretch of dry and sunny weather from Friday through at least Sunday with highs in the 50s.
AccuWeather long-range meteorologists are anticipating above-average temperatures in Washington, D.C., Baltimore and throughout the Northeast states during much of December.
According to AccuWeather Meteorologists Ben Noll, "Opportunities for snow much of this month will be slim along the mid-Atlantic and southern New England coasts."
Noll stated that there are some signs the weather may turn colder toward the tail end of the month, but how cold and whether or not snow will be involved is uncertain this far out.
