Saturday Snow Looms: Northern Virginia Weekend Weather
Northern Virginia's weekend weather forecast includes snow for Saturday but sunshine isn't expected to be far behind say the experts.
STERLING, VA—Snow is a part of Northern Virginia's weekend weather forecast, according to the National Weather Service's outlet in Sterling and other outlets, but at this point Saturday is the primary culprit—at least until early next week.
Here's a prediction from the Washington Post's Capital Weather Gang: "By late morning and through perhaps mid-afternoon, we could see some non-accumulating snow or sleet, probably mixed with and changing to rain. It also seems likely it’s mostly in liquid (rain) form, but some assorted frozen stuff is possible."
Sunday, on the other hand, is expected to be sunny with highs in the low 50s and light winds. Next Tuesday, however, could bring the white stuff once more. Here's the detailed forecast from the National Weather Service:
