Virginia residents will enjoy a sunny start to the week, but rain and possible storms could impact travel by midweek. Monday brings seasonable warmth, but increasing cloud cover will signal incoming changes.
According to the National Weather Service, Monday will be mostly sunny with highs reaching the mid-40s in Blacksburg and the low 50s in Annandale. Winds will be light, making for a pleasant early spring day. However, clouds will increase Monday night as temperatures drop into the low 30s.
By Tuesday, high temperatures will climb into the upper 50s to low 60s across Virginia, bringing a taste of spring. A mix of sun and clouds will dominate the day before a stronger weather system moves in Tuesday night. Rain is likely after midnight, with a 40% chance of precipitation and lows in the mid-40s.
Wednesday will be the most active weather day of the week, with widespread rain and possible thunderstorms. Annandale and Blacksburg could see temperatures reach the mid-60s before a cold front arrives, bringing gusty winds and a 100% chance of showers.
Looking ahead, Thursday will be partly sunny but breezy, with highs in the upper 40s. By Friday, temperatures will rebound to the mid-50s with mostly sunny skies, providing a dry end to the workweek.
Travelers along I-95 should prepare for wet roads midweek, and those with outdoor plans should monitor the forecast for storm updates.
