Northern Virginia Weather: Goodbye Gloom
Northern Virginia's weather forecast for the week ahead offers a heartfelt farewell to the ruinous conditions of this past weekend.
STERLING, VA—Northern Virginia's weather forecast for the week ahead is far superior to the weekend that we just experienced, especially considering a lot of folks are still dealing with high water and even worse. No, the outlook from the National Weather Service outpost in Sterling and other forecasting outlets is one of abundant sunshine.
As the Washington Post's Capital Weather Gang points out: "The cold front that moves through tonight will act as a giant broom, pushing out the dreary and wet pattern we’ve been stuck with over the past several days." So there you go. Expect considerable sun throughout the week.
Here's the detailed forecast from the National Weather Service:
