Question

What will the weather be like this time of year?

Answer

We want our out of town guests to know how the month of June usually feels like in Virginia. The weather will most likely be between 70-80 degrees, but can dip into the 60s at night. Humidity is a mystery on the east coast, could be muggy, but fingers crossed it's not!
