Virginia – Light rain taps windshields across Annandale this morning as temperatures hover near 37 degrees, keeping roads damp along I-495 and Little River Turnpike. The air feels raw but not icy, and visibility remains steady for now.
According to the National Weather Service, a 40% chance of rain continues mainly through midafternoon, with highs reaching near 46 degrees. Winds stay light before turning northeast later today. Wet pavement could create slick spots during the evening commute, especially where drainage is poor.
Skies clear tonight, and temperatures dip to around 30 degrees. Any leftover moisture may refreeze on bridges and overpasses. Watch elevated ramps along I-395 and the Capital Beltway for patchy ice by early morning.
Sunshine returns Friday with highs near 52 degrees. A stronger warm-up arrives Saturday as temperatures climb to 62 degrees under bright skies. It will feel like a spring tease across Fairfax County.
That mild stretch fades quickly. Sunday turns partly sunny with highs near 50 degrees, then colder air filters in late. Snow becomes possible after midnight Sunday night, with a 30% chance developing before daybreak. By Monday, snow is likely, mainly before early afternoon, with highs near 32 degrees and precipitation chances around 60%.
Some mixing with freezing rain cannot be ruled out Monday night as temperatures fall toward 21 degrees. Even light accumulation could impact travel and school schedules. Plan ahead and monitor updates.
