What to Expect Around Town This Weekend (Dec. 19-20)

Are the holidays stressing you out? Shopping not done? Too much “Jingle Bell Rock?” Not enough eggnog?

Relax.

The weather this weekend shouldn’t be too bad if you want to get outside. Sunny skies are expected to prevail Saturday and Sunday, with daytime highs in the mid-40s, according to the National Weather Service.

Metro also is running on a mostly normal weekend schedule, except on the Red Line, where trains will operate every 15 minutes due to construction.
