Northern Virginia Weekend Weather: As If On Cue
Northern Virginia's weekend weather forecast calls for something far different from what we've been experiencing of late.

STERLING, VA—Two days, boys and girls. Two days of mostly sunny skies with scant chance of rain other than an isolated shower. Two days that represent a respite from Weather Immediate Past and Weather Not-So-Distant Future. Two days that happen to be called Saturday and Sunday. Such is Northern Virginia's weekend weather forecast, as ordained by the National Weather Service and other forecasting outlets.
Not only that, but the general and all-too-invasive stickiness takes a break, as well. Look ahead if you must, for as pointed out by Channel 4 (WRC): "Humidity rolls back in on Monday with another chance of storms, mainly in the evening." That's then. This is now. Enjoy. Here's the detailed forecast from the National Weather Service's area outpost in Sterling:
Saturday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 87. Northwest wind 5 to 9 mph.
