Loudoun County Weather Outlook for Thursday, March 5, 2026

3/5/2026

🌫️ Foggy Start, Stormy Finish

We had some dense fog last night because the ground remains pretty cold. Fog should break up later this morning. This evening, we could see some showers and thunderstorms as we hit the mid-60s.

📉 Backdoor Front Tomorrow

Tomorrow, a backdoor front is lowering the temperature outlook. This time of year, backdoor fronts off the ocean are always a possibility, and they are notoriously hard for models to catch. Currently, highs are in the mid to upper 50s, but we could see them even colder!

📈 Weekend Rebound

Things should reverse on Saturday as we shoot up into the 70s. We will settle into the 60s for Sunday, and then we get back to the 70s for Monday through Wednesday. We could even see temperatures hit 80°F next Wednesday!

🌦️ Unsettled Pattern

We have daily chances of showers because the front separating warm and cold air is close to us. That always brings some concern that the boundary could dip south of us (like tomorrow). The best chances of rain appear to be this evening and Saturday night; otherwise, things are scattered every day. The long-range still looks above normal for temperatures and much-needed rainfall.
