But how long will it last?
After a winter that seemed to drag on endlessly—one that included a snowfall on the first day of spring—warmer weather has finally arrived in Laurel. But how much longer will it last? Temperatures nearby topped out at 77° Monday, a trend that's expected to continue on Tuesday with an afternoon high of about 80°. Wednesday's forecast calls mostly sunny weather again, with temperatures climbing as high as 85°. That's flip flop weather, folks. There's a chance of showers and thunderstorms in the mix for Thursday, but highs could reach 82° again before the weather cools off again Friday. Overnight lows all week are expected to be in the upper 50s and low 60s. So get outside and enjoy it while you can!

Twenty-twelve was a wild year for weather in the Washington metropolitan region. On June 29, the derecho terrorized the area, forcing President Obama to declare Montgomery County a disaster area. In the fall, while we were spared the major brunt, Hurricane Sandy caused widespread flooding, downed trees, food and supply shortages at local stores and numerous school, government and activity cancellations and postponements. Those two weather events may have been the most memorable, but according to WJLA's website, a number of weather records were set in 2012: How does the forecast for the start of 2013 look? Look for New Year's Eve temperatures in the mid-30s, with only a 20 percent chance of precipitation overnight. New Year's Day should…

Forecasters aren't sure whether the county will see any significant snow—or just rain.
Prince George's County and much of the region could be in for another dose of winter weather this weekend, depending on how an approaching storm shapes up.

I know this weather is just nuts. There was like rain, and wind, and sun, and hot, and cold, and snow. Man, it was even dark at night and sunny during the days there were no clouds. And asteroids, we had asteroids. This has never ever happened in history... we had thunderstorms. Scary, scary stuff. Congress should ban high-capacity natural disasters, no one needs a hurricane. /sarcasm off more ›
