Northern Virginia Weather: Work Week Gets Better And Better
Here's your work-week weather forecast for the Northern Virginia area, according to the National Weather Service and other area observers.
STERLING, VA—After a continued chilly, drizzly and mostly cloudy Monday, Northern Virginia's work-week weather forecast predicts a span that keeps getting better and better until we head toward a mighty fine-looking weekend. That's the word from the National Weather Service and other area forecasting outlets.
Tuesday will be something of a wild card, with temperatures unseasonably crisp but with snippets of sunshine. And Wednesday? There's this, per the Washington Post's Capital Weather Gang: "High pressure returns, and with it so does the sun! Hallelujah! Mostly sunny skies gradually remove the morning chill, with afternoon highs heading for the upper 60s to 70s, setting the stage for a warmer second half of the week."
So there you go. Here's the detailed forecast from the National Weather Service's area headquarters in Sterling:
