Annandale, Virginia – Sunday offers a final taste of sunshine before rain dampens plans and road conditions across Northern Virginia early next week.
According to the National Weather Service, Annandale and the greater Fairfax County area will see mostly sunny skies Sunday with a high near 71°F. Clouds increase Sunday night with a 30% chance of showers developing after sunset. Memorial Day stays dry, delivering warm, mostly sunny skies and a high near 72°F—ideal for outdoor events and family gatherings.
However, conditions shift quickly. By Tuesday, moisture builds with a 40% chance of showers after 2 p.m., becoming a widespread rain event by Tuesday night. The chance of precipitation rises to 80%, with lows near 57°F and potential impacts to roadways like I-495 and I-395 during late evening commutes.
Wednesday continues wet with a high near 66°F and persistent rain into Wednesday night. Drivers should anticipate slower traffic, reduced visibility, and potential ponding on secondary roads. Showers are likely Thursday and Friday as well, though rainfall chances taper slightly later in the week.
Plan ahead now: charge mobile devices, monitor local alerts, and avoid non-essential travel during peak evening showers Tuesday and Wednesday. Summer-like conditions won’t return until late week, with Friday seeing partly sunny skies and highs near 79°F.
This weather pattern marks a key transition: from spring-like clarity to a wetter start of summer. Stay weather-aware—further advisories are possible as the next front strengthens midweek.
