Northern Virginia Weather: Wet Beginning To Work Week
Norther Virginia's weather forecast for the week ahead offers a bit of everything except certainty, with a bumpy start included.

STERLING, VA—Norther Virginia's weather forecast for the week ahead offers a bit of everything except certainty, according to the National Weather Service and other forecasting outlets. As pointed out by the Washington Post's Capital Weather Gang, ". . .the next couple of days look unsettled at times, as a storm system cranks up in the middle part of the country, sending us some warmth but also plenty of shower chances through midweek."
That would be Wednesday and Thursday, which look like they'll provide the best chances for a decent amount of sun. After Tuesday, lows through the week should be in the 40s. Here's the detailed forecast from the National Weather Service's local office in Sterling:
Sunday Night: Rain likely, mainly after 1am. Increasing clouds, with a low around 48. East wind around 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible.
