Sunny, Rainy and Freezing Temps?!: Week's Weather in Northern Virginia

The next week looks downright normal for spring, but don't let it fool you.

There are a few rainy days, a few sunny days, a chance for thunderstorms and daytime temperatures ranging from the 50s to the 70s.

But the extended forecast has an Easter egg nobody wants to find. Temperatures are expected to plummet next weekend.

The high Sunday, April 3, will be 50 degrees, with the low Sunday night dropping to 28 degrees. Monday night, April 4, will see temperature drop at or below freezing, again.

See the forecast from The Weather Channel.

Before we get there, expect clearing skies on Monday and sunshine Tuesday and Wednesday. That's followed by a chance for showers and thunderstorms near the end of the week to start cooling things off.
