STERLING, VA — There have been a few "light-jacket days" this season, but you can comfortably put that jacket back in the closet this week.

Temperatures will be shooting past 80 degrees come Monday, and climb even higher Tuesday and Wednesday, all under sunny skies.

We'll fall back into the 70s on Thursday and the high will only hit the 60s on Friday and Saturday.

There's also a chance for showers creeping into the weekend forecast.

We should start hearing talk of a tropical system in the Atlantic by the middle of the week, but doesn't appear headed in this direction.

The latest Halloween forecast: 63 degrees and sunny, with overnight lows at 45 degrees.
