Annandale, VA – Thunderstorms could disrupt Tuesday evening plans in Northern Virginia, with the most active window expected between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. The National Weather Service warns that scattered showers will develop after 2 p.m., intensifying into storms late in the day, bringing brief heavy rain, gusty winds, and lightning.
According to the National Weather Service, the chance of precipitation is around 20% early, rising to 50% into the evening as a warm, humid air mass interacts with an approaching disturbance. Areas along I-95 and major commuter routes through Fairfax County could experience slower traffic and reduced visibility during the height of the storms.
Residents planning outdoor activities, evening sports, or school events are urged to have indoor alternatives ready. While not all locations will see storms, any cells that form could briefly turn strong, producing localized downpours. Conditions will quiet down overnight with partly cloudy skies.
This marks the most significant storm chance of the week, with drier weather likely returning midweek before more scattered showers develop late Wednesday and Thursday. Keep alerts handy, as Tuesday’s activity could shift in timing depending on storm development trends.
