A cold front has brought an abrupt change in weather for millions of Americans who experienced record warmth this week. On Thursday, many of them were greeted in the morning with colder, rainier weather.
Washington, D.C., saw 82 degrees Fahrenheit and sun on Wednesday, the warmest it’s been this early in the year on record. But temperatures came down to the mid-50s on Thursday with occasional bouts of rain expected.
