The Labor Day weekend is off to a much cooler start, following a summer that at times brought scorching heat.
Saturday will begin with mostly clear skies, as high pressure builds through the day, according to NBC Washington meteorologist Briana Bermensolo.
She said sunny and pleasant conditions are forecast for the D.C. area — including regional beaches, with comfortable, dry weather on Saturday afternoon.
The National Weather Service said Saturday will be “the coolest dry day since the middle of June.”
