Virginia and the D.C. region wake up to wet pavement and gusty winds pushing through neighborhoods, with rain still falling and visibility shifting block by block across Annandale.
According to the National Weather Service, showers continue through the early morning hours with an 80% chance of rain and wind gusts reaching up to 33 mph. Roads along I-495, I-66, and Route 50 remain slick, especially where heavier bursts passed through earlier.
Conditions begin to improve by late morning as rain tapers off from west to east. Skies stay mostly cloudy, but drier air moves in quickly. Drivers should still allow extra time, as wet roads and lingering spray can reduce visibility even after rain ends.
By afternoon, calmer weather settles in with temperatures near 60 degrees. It will feel noticeably cooler compared to recent days, with a steady northwest breeze continuing through the day.
A sharp drop follows after sunset. Temperatures fall to around 31 degrees, raising the risk for isolated slick spots where moisture lingers. Bridges and overpasses across Fairfax County could briefly turn icy by early morning. Stay alert if heading out early.
The midweek trend brings a rebound. Sunshine returns Tuesday with highs near 51 degrees, followed by low 60s Wednesday. Warmer spring air builds by Thursday, pushing highs into the low 70s with increasing clouds and a chance of rain late.
This week delivers a quick shift from wet roads to chilly nights, then back to spring warmth. Plan for changing conditions, especially during early travel hours. What are conditions like on your commute right now?
