The local outlook

Loudoun County Weather Outlook for Friday, October 16, 2026

🌦️ Good Friday to you!
A warm day ahead with highs near 82° and gusty southerly winds. Showers and thunderstorms are possible, especially after 4 or 5 PM into this evening as a strong cold front moves through. Some storms could be severe, with damaging wind gusts the main concern. I’ll be watching radar and updating as I can.

🍂 A chilly weekend
Much cooler air arrives tonight! Saturday reaches just 54°, with windy conditions and gusts around 30 mph making it feel like the upper 40s much of the day.

🌡️ Frost potential
Saturday night turns clear and cold, with lows near 34°. Sheltered spots where winds ease could see frost. Sunday brings sunshine and highs near 56°, followed by another chilly night with patchy frost possible.

☀️ Next week
Highs gradually recover toward 60° Monday and the mid 60s Tuesday and Wednesday. I’m watching a possible coastal low, but its track and any rain remain uncertain. Beyond tonight’s rain, the extended outlook looks generally dry, with warmer temperatures favored farther out. Cooler weather will help keep water demand down after our recent drought improvements.

The Forecast:

Friday: Hi 82 🌦️60% Lo 47 ☁️🌧️30%. Showers and possible thunderstorms. Breezy tonight.

Saturday: Hi 54 🌤️ Lo 34 🌙. Partly to mostly sunny. Windy with gusts around 30 mph. Clear and cold overnight.

Sunday: Hi 56 ☀️ Lo 37 🌙. Sunny with light winds. Mostly clear overnight.
