Sunny, Rainy and Freezing Temps?!: Week's Weather in Washington, D.C.

The next week looks downright normal for spring, but don't let it fool you.

There are a few rainy days, a few sunny days, a chance for thunderstorms and daytime temperatures ranging from the 50s to the 70s.

But the extended forecast has an Easter egg we didn't want to find. Temperatures are expected to plummet next weekend.

The high Sunday, April 3, will be 52 degrees, with the low Sunday night dropping to 29 degrees. Monday night, April 4, will see temperature drop near freezing.

See the forecast from The Weather Channel.
