Mother Nature is not done with us yet.
A Wind Advisory has been issued for Arlington and the D.C. area. It’s in effect from 8 p.m. until midnight.
Winds will whip up, forecasters say, with gusts up to 55 mph as a cold front moves in and drops temperatures into the 30s, from the mid-60s currently. Some storms are also possible as the front passes, though the high-end severe threat from earlier has mostly fizzled.
