Warm Weather Stays as New School Year Begins: NWS Forecasts

With Labor Day now officially behind us, most consider this week the first unofficial week of the fall.

However, the weather must have missed the memo.

According to the National Weather Service, high temperatures will soar into the 90s each of the next two days, and summer thunderstorms will pass through Northern Virginia on Wednesday and Thursday.

Temperatures will drop into the low-80s by the end of the week, and are expected to continue to drop through the weekend and into next week.
