Annandale, VA – Virginia residents face a sharp temperature contrast this week as chilly mornings give way to noticeably warmer afternoons. Scattered flurries and brisk winds open the period before sunshine returns across Northern Virginia.
Temperatures could fall to 34 degrees Tuesday night before reaching 64 degrees Wednesday. That 30 degree difference highlights a changing November weather pattern affecting Fairfax County and the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area.
According to the National Weather Service, scattered sprinkles and flurries are possible Sunday before 7 a.m. Conditions should gradually improve, with afternoon temperatures reaching 53 degrees.
Northwest winds of 7 to 11 mph could gust as high as 22 mph, adding a noticeable chill.
Near Freezing Temperatures Return Monday brings sunshine and a high near 56 degrees. However, temperatures fall to approximately 35 degrees Monday night.
Tuesday stays sunny, with temperatures climbing to 60 degrees before dropping to 34 degrees Tuesday night.
That places some neighborhoods close to freezing, particularly during the coldest early morning hours.
Drivers should watch for isolated frost or slick spots where moisture remains on exposed surfaces. However, the current outlook does not indicate widespread icing or flash freezing conditions.
Wednesday Brings a Noticeable Warmup By Wednesday, Northern Virginia temperatures climb to approximately 64 degrees under sunny skies.
