Loudoun Weather

Hoping to get these out earlier in the day! This is the weekly outlook. Looks a bit warmer than I first thought the next few days. Overnight fog is common this time of year! It does help that new grass that you may have planted! 

I'm still seeing that trend towards more wet conditions Friday Night.. maybe into Saturday. I will keep watching. The front coming through may be slower to clear. We need the rain.. it just messes up outdoor events! Let's hope for a wet night and a dry Saturday! 

AN FYI… I saw some concern (and social media anger) because burn season has started, and people have had fires while we remain in a drought. Surface conditions are pretty wet these days. This week, we will have enough humidity around and low winds so that the fire risk will be low to very low (fog is an indicator of surface moisture). Groundwater and stream flow remain low, so we are not out of the drought! 

I was amazed by the recovery of the dormant grass last week!  I had to mow, and the grass was quite thick! 🙂 Anyways, when the humidity gets low, and we have a breeze or have not had rain for a longer period of time, that is when the fire danger will increase. It is not just because we are in a drought. So, no need to get angry!

It will be somewhat chilly on Sunday, and especially Sunday night! Sunday night may brush the upper 30s for some!
