VIRGINIA — Northern Virginia and the Washington, D.C., area can expect colder weather this weekend, with a mix of rain, sleet and snow possible on Sunday afternoon, according to the National Weather Service.

Friday night, the thermometer is expected to drop to around 24 degrees, warming to the upper 30s on Saturday under mostly sunny skies, according to the NWS forecast. But the cold weather will return during the overnight hours, with the chance of rain and frozen precipitation moving into the region after 1 p.m on Sunday.

“We’ll have more chilly weather this weekend, before it turns warmer Monday and Tuesday with a chance of a rain,” according to the Capital Weather Gang. “At least we’ve vanquished the wind, by and large, through the weekend. If you’re after sunshine, Saturday may be our brightest day”.
