Expect blustery conditions tonight and temperatures to drop to near-freezing overnight, Storm Team4 says.

Winds picked up significantly late Tuesday afternoon. Northwest winds could gust 45-55 mph from 2 to 8 p.m. Secure your trash cans and close your windows.

Afternoon highs reached about 60-65 degrees and temperatures will fall back into the 50s tonight.

Wednesday will be significantly cooler. A freeze warning is in effect for the entire D.C. area on Wednesday morning, so cover or bring inside any sensitive plants.

This just in! The freeze WARNING has been expanded to include the entire area for tonight into tomorrow morning. Protect sensitive plants and you'll want to grab the puffy coat later tonight and tomorrow morning. pic.twitter.com/EjnnhuG3H5
