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.

The forecast:
Today: Hi 63 🌦️⛈️40% Lo 48 🌧️70% – Mostly cloudy with isolated morning showers and afternoon thunderstorms, followed by showers and storms likely before 2am

Friday: Hi 56 🌦️30% Lo 46 🌧️20% – Partly sunny with scattered showers

Saturday: Hi 74 🌦️40% Lo 57 🌧️60% – Mostly cloudy with a chance of showers after 1pm, then showers likely through the night

Sunday: Hi 67 ☁️ Lo 47 🌙 – Mostly cloudy

Monday: Hi 70 🌞 Lo 51 🌙 – Mostly sunny and clear

Tuesday: Hi 76 🌞 Lo 59 🌙 – Mostly sunny and partly cloudy

Wednesday: Hi 78 🌦️40% Lo 58 🌧️40% – Mostly cloudy with a chance of showers

Loudoun County Weather Outlook for Tuesday, March 3, 2026

c3/3/2026
⏰ Wintertime is coming to an end!
That was likely winter's last hurrah. Yesterday, some folks reported between 2 and 3 inches of snow, and I definitely had over 2 inches on the deck here in Purcellville. We had a lot of freezing rain overnight, but fortunately roads are mostly clear. Things should warm up today. True winter should now be done, though might get a cold day here or there; a sustained winter pattern is over.

🌧️ Rain Chances Continue
Rain remains in the forecast today as we stay unsettled with a front nearby. Highs will struggle to reach 45°F today before we start to see a gradual warming trend.

🌦️ Unsettled Week Ahead
We have a chance for showers every single day this week, except maybe Friday! Being so close to the front means the models are struggling; we could see 70s one day and 50s the next if the cold air nudges in. Models will struggle to see this, so do not be surprised by a quick change.

🌡️ Milder Pattern Building
We should hit 70s Friday, and that should last into next week (barring a surprise backdoor front messes things up!)

The Forecast:
Today: Hi 43 🌧️80% Lo 42 🌧️90% – Rain throughout the day with patchy fog, continuing into the night

Wednesday: Hi 57 🌧️60% Lo 48 🌧️70% – Rain likely, mainly in the afternoon

Thursday: Hi 69 🌦️⛈️50% Lo 54 🌧️60% – Mostly cloudy with a chance of showers and afternoon thunderstorms continuing overnight

Friday: Hi 73 🌞 Lo 51 ☁️ – Mostly sunny and pleasant

Saturday: Hi 74 🌦️30% Lo 57 🌧️50% – Partly sunny with a chance of afternoon showers

Sunday: Hi 72 🌦️40% Lo 54 🌧️30% – Mostly cloudy with a chance of showers

Monday: Hi 73 🌦️30% Lo 55 🌧️30% – Partly sunny with a chance of showers

Loudoun County Weather Outlook for Monday, March 2, 2026

3/2/2026 – ⚠️Winter Weather Advisory overnight for some icing ⚠️
❄️ Midday Snow Burst
It is going to be a cloudy and cold day with some snow breaking out somewhere around midday. It could be briefly heavy, and whiten some roadways, but most likely it will just accumulate on grass areas, but up to an inch is possible if we get into a small area of enhanced snow.

🧊 Icy Mix Tonight
Tonight, temperatures will fall into the upper 20s as more snow arrives. The snow should change over pretty quickly to sleet, then to freezing rain by late tonight. We have a Winter Weather Advisory from 10 p.m. until 10 a.m. tomorrow.

🌧️ Transition to Rain
By tomorrow afternoon, things will just turn over to plain rain.

🌡️Warming Up
Temperatures will be in the 60s on Wednesday and Thursday, and 70s are possible Friday through the weekend.

🌦️ Unsettled Week Ahead
We have a chance of rain every day because a front dividing the cooler and warm air is really close by. We have a chance of at least some showers daily and temperatures 70 degrees or warmer from Friday through the weekend.

🌡️ The long range will have well above normal temperatures!

The forecast:
Today: Hi 39 ❄️70% Lo 26 🌧️80% – Snow likely during the afternoon with a wintry mix of snow, freezing rain, and sleet overnight

Tuesday: Hi 46 🌧️80% Lo 31 🌧️80% – Rain and freezing rain possibly mixed with snow early, transitioning to rain

Loudoun Weather

Loudoun County Weather Outlook for Saturday, February 28, 2026

2/28/2026
☀️ Beautiful Day Ahead!
Highs will get up into the low 60s!

🌬️ Turning Windy Tomorrow
Tomorrow, temperatures will reach around 52, but we could see them start to fall late in the day as breezes pick up and it gets windy and cold.

❄️ Colder Monday with Flurries
Much colder on Monday with breezy conditions. Highs will reach the mid 30s with a chance of flurries

🚗 Tuesday Travel Concerns
Early Tuesday, sleet and freezing rain will be a problem, potentially impacting the morning commute. At some point, it will just change over to plain rain on Tuesday, and that may be it for winter weather for this winter!

📈 Warm Up Next Week
I'm pretty confident as we start to warm up and get into the 50s, 60s, and even 70s later next week. We are right along the front, which makes it hard to be certain about the 70s since that front can sag and mess up the warmer forecast. As of now, it looks like we'll soar into the 70s next Friday and into the weekend, though we have a daily chance of some rain.

Have a good one and get out and enjoy the weather!
The Forecast:
Today: Hi 63 🌞 Lo 37 🌙 – Sunny and pleasant during the day, becoming partly cloudy overnight

Sunday: Hi 52 🌦️20% Lo 22 🌙 – Partly sunny with a slight chance of morning rain, clearing to a partly cloudy and breezy and very cold at night

Monday: Hi 36 ❄️20% Lo 24 🌧️20% – Partly sunny with a slight chance of snow, followed by a slight chance of snow and freezing rain after midnight

Tuesday: Hi 44 🌦️60% Lo 38 🌧️70% – Cloudy with rain, freezing rain, and sleet likely, turning to rain

Wednesday: Hi 58 🌦️40% Lo 44 🌧️30% – Cloudy with a chance of rain

Thursday: Hi 66 🌦️40% Lo 52 🌧️30% – Mostly cloudy with a chance of rain

Friday: Hi 72 🌦️30% Lo 55 🌧️30% – Mostly cloudy with a chance of rain
