"With a little sunshine," FOX 5’s Tucker Barnes posted online, "still looks like parts of the region could make a run at 70F tomorrow afternoon!"

The springlike temperatures will arrive on the heels of the first significant snowfall in the nation’s capital in about two years.

So far this winter, Washington D.C. is the third snowiest major city along the I-95 corridor. FOX 5 meteorologist Mike Thomas has the details and your latest weather forecast.

With last week’s snow came gusty winds and frigid temperatures that caused refreezing and impacted school schedules in the District, Maryland, and Virginia.

The warmer weather will be short-lived. After flirting with 70 degrees on Friday, more seasonal temperatures in the 50s and 40s will return by the weekend and into next week.
