Memorial Day Weekend Travel: Closures and Weather

As you head into your Memorial Day Weekend, make your travel in and around the region easier by checking our live traffic information on the Patch Commute tab.

The weekend will be mostly sunny in Northern Virginia, so rain won't slow down your drive in and around Washington, D.C.
