Virginia – Clouds thicken and the air feels heavier across Northern Virginia, signaling a quick shift as scattered showers develop and spread into Annandale by early afternoon. Roads across I-495, I-66, and Route 50 will turn slick, with visibility dropping during bursts of rain. Plan extra time if heading out.
According to the National Weather Service, scattered showers increase through the day with a 50% chance of rain and highs near 69°F. Southwest winds may gust up to 25 mph, pushing rain bands quickly across Fairfax County and surrounding areas.
Rain doesn’t fully clear out tonight, and additional scattered showers linger into early Tuesday. A brief break follows, with temperatures climbing to 82°F under partial sunshine. That warmth is short-lived but noticeable, giving the region a quick spring boost.
By Wednesday, the pattern turns more active again. Rain chances rise sharply, with showers likely and possible thunderstorms after 2 p.m. Highs push to 84°F, adding energy to developing storms. Wet roads and ponding could impact both afternoon and evening commutes.
Localized flooding isn’t guaranteed, but repeated rain over several days increases the risk in low-lying spots and poor drainage areas around Annandale and nearby Arlington. Drivers should avoid water-covered roads and stay alert for sudden slowdowns.
This early April setup keeps conditions unsettled, with alternating warm afternoons and passing rain through the week. More alerts may follow as the pattern evolves.
