Northern Virginia Weather: It Gets Worse
Northern Virginia's work-week weather forecast offers a slight chance of snow but mostly offers more of the same — and even worse.
STERLING, VA — Northern Virginia's first work-week weather forecast of 2018 definitely does not feature high humidity with a heat index approaching 100 degrees. For heaven's sake, how many ways are there to describe this continuing odyssey of sheer, utter, bone-chilling cold. One more thing, according to the National Weather Service's arm in Sterling: it's only going to get worse.
For starters, the highs Tuesday will struggle to reach 25 and the wind chill introduces likely sub-zero possibilities. And say hello to mostly single-digit lows throughout the week. As for snow? Here's the word from the Washington Post's Capital Weather Gang: "While we’ll need to monitor an ocean storm making its closest approach Thursday, snow chances appear to be low like last week — with flurries most common."
Here's the latest forecast from the National Weather Service:
