This Memorial Day weekend is shaping into an ideal start to summer.
Breaking from the overcast, sometimes drizzly weather that has lingered in Fairfax County over the past week, conditions should be dry with a mix of sunshine and clouds through Monday (May 26), DC News Now meteorologist Jackie Layer says in her latest forecast for FFXnow.
Temperatures are expected to stay in the 70s, warming up slightly for observed Memorial Day.
“The thinking is that we’ll see a little bit more of that sunshine, less wind, so at least temperatures will be a little closer to normal, which normal is upper 70s for this time of the year,” Layer said.
Potential rain looms after the holiday weekend, but for now, you can hit the swimming pool or an outdoor festival without fear (or an umbrella). Learn more about what to expect from Layer, and catch her weekday forecasts on DC News Now/WDVM and DCW50.
