Virginia – Frost lingers on rooftops and windshields across Annandale this morning, with temperatures hovering near 32°F and a crisp stillness in the air. It feels like winter’s last push before a rapid spring turnaround.
According to the National Weather Service, sunshine builds quickly today with highs reaching 61°F. Light southwest winds increase to 15 mph, helping warmer air surge into Northern Virginia and the D.C. suburbs.
Across Fairfax County and along I-495 and I-66, travel remains smooth through the morning and midday. Roads stay dry, but drivers should watch for early slick spots in shaded areas where frost briefly formed.
By Monday, the warm-up accelerates. Highs climb to 72°F under mostly sunny skies, marking a clear shift into a spring pattern. Tuesday pushes even warmer, with highs near 81°F and continued dry conditions—ideal for outdoor plans.
The pattern changes quickly midweek. Meteorologists now track a developing system that brings rain into the region by Wednesday afternoon. Rain chances rise to 70%, with wet roads likely for the evening commute.
By Wednesday night, rain becomes widespread with an 80% chance. Visibility may drop, and ponding could develop on roads across I-395, I-95, and the Beltway.
Behind the rain, cooler air returns late week, with highs dropping into the 50s. This raises the risk for slick spots if temperatures fall quickly after rainfall—something drivers should monitor closely.
