Cloudy Sunday keeps temperatures in the 40s — plus, chance for snowflakes

1+ hour, 28+ min ago (396+ words) November 30, 2025, 8:30 AM November closes out with somewhat of a wintry mix Sunday with cloudy conditions that offer up a chance of rain and snowflakes. 7News First Alert Meteorologist Jordan Evans said the D.C. region will see clouds and stray showers throughout the day as the temperatures peak in the high 40s. Beware, though, winds between 10 and 15 mph are here to stay for the day. But, that's not all. "Don't be surprised if a few snowflakes try to mix in as well, especially west of highway 15," Evans said. By Sunday night, temperatures will plummet once again, with lows in the 20s. A cold weather alert for D.C. is running through 9 a.m. Monday. Mostly sunny conditions by Monday morning, however, will pave the way for temperatures to climb back into the mid 40s before another chance for a wintry mix presents itself.

How some invasive species can be transformed into delicious dishes

2+ hour, 24+ min ago (435+ words) November 30, 2025, 7:34 AM Some invasive species can be transformed into delicious dishes to invade and satisfy your stomach. However, plopping an invasive species on your dinner plate is not a willy-nilly venture. Virginia Tech professor and invasive species expert Jacob Barney said you should make sure to correctly identify and properly prepare them. "There's a shocking number of invasive species that are edible," Barney told WTOP, adding, "just because something's edible doesn't mean it tastes good." "It's a little hard this time of year. We've had frost already," he said. Examples of invasive species with plate appeal include the autumn olive and wineberries, both of which are hard to get rid of once they get a foothold. Wineberry is known to crowd out native plants and autumn olive overtakes pastures and grasslands. "From the plant side, I would say one of…...

SNAP benefits are flowing again, but many enrollees will soon hit another hurdle

2+ hour, 51+ min ago (1196+ words) November 30, 2025, 7:07 AM (CNN) " Food stamp recipients are now receiving their November benefits, but a growing swath of enrollees may soon lose their vital food assistance completely. At the same time as the government shutdown disrupted the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, states began implementing an expansion of the program's work requirements as mandated in the Republicans' "big, beautiful bill," which was signed into law by President Donald Trump this summer. Under the GOP package, more food stamp enrollees will have to work, volunteer or participate in job training for at least 80 hours a month or they will only be able to receive benefits for three months out of every three years. The expanded work requirements will result in 2.4 million fewer Americans receiving food stamps benefits in an average month over the next decade, according to a Congressional Budget Office…...
