Loudoun County Weather Outlook for Friday, July 17, 2026

⚠️ Air Quality Alert

🌫️ Smoky and Hazy Today
Wildfire smoke pushed our air quality into hazardous levels, so stay indoors if you can, skip strenuous outdoor activity, and limit your time outside. Smoke sticks around into tonight.

⚡ Severe Weather Watch for Tomorrow
Storms tomorrow could bring severe weather with high winds, isolated hail, and even possibly a tornado, though it's a low chance. Morning showers could rob some energy, and smoke may limit instability, lowering the threat.

☀️ Gorgeous Sunday Ahead
Sunday turns beautiful with lower humidity, a northerly breeze, and wall-to-wall sunshine. Monday keeps that same great feel.

🔥 Midweek Warm Up, Smoke Returns
Temperatures climb back up on Tuesday, and some smoke may return. A shower and storm threat arrives Tuesday evening, so we'll watch that closely. Cooler air follows for Wednesday with maybe a stray shower, and Thursday looks great too.

🔭 Looking Further Out
Temps look to trend a bit below normal heading into next weekend, and it's shaping up to be a potentially beautiful one.

This time of year, anything below normal feels like a win. Have a great day and we'll keep you posted!
