SATURDAY: Sunny
Highs: 60-65
Winds: South 5-10 mph
Sunshine and a warm push sends temperatures into the 60s this afternoon. High temperatures through the Shenandoah Valley will approach 70 degrees. Outdoor plans get the green light with no weather issues expected. This is easily the pick of the weekend as a cold front will begin to advance from the northwest overnight.

SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly Clear
Lows: 38-42
Winds: South 5 mph
A few more clouds overnight but temperatures remain above freezing.

SUNDAY: Partly Cloudy
Highs: 45-55
Winds: North 10-20 mph
A slow-moving cold front slides south through the area, and temperatures look to vary quite a bit from north to south depending on where the front sits. Highs will likely range from the 40s north of the metro area to near 60 degrees across Central Virginia. The front is moisture-starved and most of the upper-level energy passes north of us, so this is not a washout. Still, a few isolated showers are possible — mainly rain in lower elevations and perhaps mixing with snow in the higher elevations.

SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly Cloudy
Lows: 25-30
Winds: North 10 mph
A few more clouds overnight but temperatures remain above freezing

MONDAY: Cloudy, Few Snow Showers
Highs: 32-38
Winds: East 5-10 mph
Colder air settles in behind Sunday’s front, moisture tries to ride up and over that colder air from the south. That combination keeps the chance for winter weather on the table, with light snow mixed with showers and sleet possible across the DMV. At this time, limited moisture looks to be available, so the first half of Monday stays dry and cold, with isolated rain and snow showers developing in the afternoon and evening. A major winter storm appears unlikely.
