Storms Lead Into Sunny Labor Day Weekend

Labor Day weekend isn’t just a holiday weekend, but also the unofficial end of summer and beginning of autumn.

Residents in Herndon should have plenty of opportunities to enjoy some time outside before the start of a new school year, provided they wait out the storms in Friday’s forecast.

After storms pass through Herndon Friday afternoon and evening, the rain clouds will make way for mostly sunny skies perfect for barbecuing or a dip in the pool.
