Stunning Temperatures Reported In DC

WASHINGTON, DC -- They told us it would be cold this morning, and they weren't lying. Temperature readings ranging from -6 degrees to 10 degrees have been reported throughout the D.C. region -- and that's not factoring in the wind chill.

The Washington Post's Capital Weather Gang published a map of the temperature readings throughout the D.C. region at 7 a.m. Thursday, which is embedded below.

While these aren't records, they are easily the coldest of this winter season.

Coldest morning of the winter so far! Lows dipped to 10 at Reagan National, 6 at BWI Marshall and minus-2 at Dulles. Wind chills currently (at 7a) are around minus-5. Here is a map of 7a air temps. More info: https://t.co/pr4JutcfA2 pic.twitter.com/xWHzcDxO0A

As bad as it is, we should be thankful we're not in the Midwest, where temperatures a plunging more than 30 degrees below zero and smashing records.

Things aren't going to warm up much today, with highs topping out in the 20s.

It will be a little better on Friday, but not much, with highs reaching into the 30s. Saturday and Sunday will bring some relief as temperatures get into the 40s and even into the 50s.

And then, the big warm-up begins next week, where we could see temperatures top 60 degrees.
