Warm Weekend to Cool Off on Sunday: NWS Forecasts

This week’s warm weather in Fredericksburg will carry into the early part of the weekend this weekend, with temperatures rising as high as the mid-80s on both Friday and Saturday.

However, those temperatures are expected to drop Saturday night and only rise back up to the mid-70s on Sunday. From Sunday through next Thursday, there’s not a high temperature in the forecast above 77 degrees, perhaps a sign that autumn weather is not far off.

It does appear Northern Virginians will be able to enjoy clear skies this weekend, with no precipitation in the forecast until Sunday evening, when rainfall is expected after 2 a.m.
