Annandale, VA – Residents across northern Virginia should prepare for a mix of rain and snow this weekend as temperatures fluctuate dramatically. Rain is expected Saturday, followed by a cold snap that could bring snow Sunday evening.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS), clouds will increase tonight with lows near 30 degrees. A chance of rain arrives early Saturday morning, continuing through the day with highs around 46. Gusty winds up to 18 mph may accompany the rain, creating potentially slick roads along I-95 and surrounding areas.
Sunday will mark a significant change as Arctic air pushes into the region. Temperatures will struggle to reach the low 30s, and snowfall is likely in the afternoon. While accumulations are expected to be light, localized icy conditions could impact travel on Sunday evening and Monday morning.
The upcoming week will remain frigid, with highs on Martin Luther King Jr. Day peaking at only 21 degrees. Overnight lows Monday into Tuesday will dip into the single digits, with wind chills making it feel even colder.
Residents are urged to secure outdoor items before gusty winds arrive and avoid unnecessary travel during snow periods. Prepare vehicles with de-icer and winter supplies, especially along frequently traveled roads like Route 50 and I-495.
Stay updated with the latest forecasts from the NWS and monitor local advisories for potential changes to the snowfall outlook.
