Canadian high pressure still covers the Baltimore-Washington region, but it has edged closer to the coast. That opens the door to a warmer day than early in the week.
Early morning temperatures are mostly in the upper 50s to low 60s, with mid-60s near Washington, Baltimore, and spots along the I-95 corridor and the bay. Skies are mostly clear. A little patchy fog is possible in mountain valleys and low spots before sunrise.
Occoquan Road (Route 906) between Horner Road and Old Bridge Road will close to through traffic from 9 p.m. Friday, Sept. 18, until 5 a.m. Monday, Sept. 21, weather permitting, the Virginia Department of Transportation said Sept. 15.
Crews will demolish a portion of the southbound I-95 bridge over Occoquan Road as part of the I-95 and Route 123 interchange improvements project in Woodbridge.

Prince William County police announced an additional arrest in a June homicide near Manassas, charging a 16-year-old with second-degree murder and a related firearm offense. In Woodbridge, officers arrested a 32-year-old woman after she allegedly brandished a firearm and fired a shot that struck a vehicle during an early-morning altercation. A separate shots-fired call later the same day left a vehicle damaged but no injuries. Stafford County deputies reported a DUI arrest involving narcotics, a shoplifting case and several fraud complaints from Sept. 14.
The murder investigation continues and does not appear to be random. The Woodbridge firearm cases remain under investigation where suspects are not yet identified.
