What to Expect Around Town This Weekend (Jan. 30-31)

This time last week, we warned you about the snow. Then it happened and, well… we all know what came next.

Luckily, this weekend should be sunny with highs in the 40s tomorrow and in the mid-50s on Sunday, according to the National Weather Service.

Oh, and heads up: We’re taking a half day today, but we’ll be back Monday morning with the same local coverage as always.

Here’s what else you might want to know for this weekend:

• You might want to buy your Groundhog Day top hat soon. The big Dupont Circle celebration takes place next Tuesday.
