Virginia – Headlights reflect off damp pavement this morning, and a chilly breeze cuts through neighborhoods across Annandale. Temperatures sit in the low 40s near Fort Belvoir, and clouds are thickening as rain approaches.
Showers develop mainly after early afternoon. Highs climb to around 47 degrees, with periods of steady rain likely. Patchy fog lingers early, especially in low-lying spots. Roads along I-495 and I-95 will turn slick during heavier bursts. Plan extra time for the evening commute.
Rain continues tonight with lows near 40 degrees. Another round of rain is likely Friday, with highs pushing toward 57 degrees. While it feels mild for February, the active weather pattern stays locked in.
By late Saturday night, a shift begins. A chance of rain develops after 1 a.m., then colder air filters in before dawn. That sets the stage for a rain and snow mix Sunday. Highs drop to near 41 degrees, and snow becomes likely Sunday night as temperatures fall into the low 30s.
Even light snow can create slushy spots. Watch for slick bridges and overpasses. This is prime time for flash freezing, especially if wet roads refreeze after sunset.
Monday brings another chance of snow before 1 p.m., with highs near 39 degrees. Colder nights follow, dipping into the 20s early next week.
