What to Expect Around Town This Weekend (Feb. 6-7)
With only a few piles of dirty snow left in the area and a prediction from Potomac Phil that warmer weather is around the corner, spring doesn’t seem all that far away.
Although they aren’t balmy, temperatures are expected to rise to the mid to upper 40s on Saturday and Sunday, according to the National Weather Service. No snow (or any precipitation for that matter) is predicted to fall in the District.
Here’s what you might want to know if you venture out this weekend:
- You can donate a hat, scarf, coat or pair of gloves and receive a free drink at Sudhouse (1340 U St. NW) Saturday. All collected items will be given to Coalition for the Homeless.
