Loudoun County Weather Outlook for Thursday, September 19, 2024

Talking about some wide ranges in rain totals. Some saw over an inch, and others under a quarter of an inch. Some rain chances have entered the forecast, but not strong chances. At least it is not all dry. The weekend still looks good, but a stray shower or storm could hit on Saturday.

I've attached the 7-day outlook for rain.

The Drought Monitor was just released, and we remain in a moderate drought.

Today: Hi 78 🌦️20% Lo 58 πŸŒ™ – Isolated morning showers, mostly cloudy, becoming partly cloudy by night with light winds

Loudoun County Weather Outlook for Wednesday, September 18, 2024

Some helpful rains fell overnight and this morning, but it was definitely in line with the lighter overall models. We may see another quarter of an inch today if we get into some more showers, but the precipitation is not looking uniform.

The attached rain forecast is a bit generous in some areas, I believe, as a lot of the rain has already fallen for today.

Some showers possible tonight into tomorrow night and then we are back into dry conditions. Temps look nice but will likely warm back up later next week. Rain chances are average to slightly above in the long range.

The forecast:
Today: Hi 71 β›ˆοΈ80% Lo 61 🌧️30% – Showers and thunderstorms likely before the afternoon with patchy fog, scattered thunderstorms later.

Thursday: Hi 78 πŸŒ₯️🌧️30% Lo 59 🌧️20% – Mostly cloudy with a chance of showers and patchy morning fog, clearing up by evening.

Friday: Hi 79 β˜€οΈ Lo 59 πŸŒ™ – Mostly sunny and partly cloudy in the evening.

Saturday: Hi 77 β˜€οΈ Lo 58 πŸŒ™ – Mostly sunny, becoming partly cloudy overnight.

Sunday: Hi 73 β˜€οΈ Lo 53 πŸŒ™ – Mostly sunny with clear skies later.

Monday: Hi 71 β˜€οΈ Lo 54 πŸŒ™ – Sunny during the day, partly cloudy at night.

Tuesday: Hi 72 🌀️ Lo 54 πŸŒ™ – Partly sunny skies throughout the day.

Loudoun County Weather Outlook for Tueday, September 17, 2024

***** BEAUTIFUL WEEKEND ALERT ******

Talking about a rug pull on any chance of significant rain! I AM SORRY! Although we could see some heavier local amounts, the most amount of rain people may see from this event is three-quarters of an inch. If you happen to get a thunderstorm, there may be more. Many may see a quarter of an inch.. or less?? – The blocking high to the north was stronger than expected, and the remnants of the tropical system are not far enough north or strong enough to help overcome that drier air. I do not control the weather or the models, but seeing systems behave differently than forecasted is just not fun. I know plans were changed due to these forecasts! I put down grass seed in the hopes of some good rain, too! πŸ™

It now looks dry Friday through Sunday with pleasant temperatures.

The long range shows warmer-than-normal temperatures and a chance of some above-average rainfall. We can hope for rain!

The forecast:
Today: Hi 76 🌧️30% Lo 64 🌧️70% – Cloudy with a chance of showers in the afternoon and likely showers late at night with patchy fog.

Wednesday: Hi 72 β›ˆοΈ70% Lo 62 β›ˆοΈ40% – Mostly cloudy with likely showers and possible thunderstorms in the afternoon.

Thursday: Hi 77 🌀️30% Lo 59 πŸŒ™30% – Partly sunny with a slight chance of afternoon showers, turning partly cloudy at night.

Friday: Hi 80 β˜€οΈ Lo 59 πŸŒ™ – Mostly sunny during the day and partly cloudy at night.

Saturday: Hi 78 β˜€οΈ Lo 56 πŸŒ™ – Mostly sunny and mostly clear.

Sunday: Hi 73 β˜€οΈ Lo 54 πŸŒ™ – Mostly sunny and partly cloudy at night.

Monday: Hi 71 β˜€οΈ Lo 54 πŸŒ™ – Mostly sunny during the day and mostly clear at night.
