Not looking quite as cold now for Tuesday morning, most areas should stay in the 40s; maybe an isolated spot or two west of the mountains dips to the mid 30s but should be the exception.
Still expecting scattered showers this afternoon and early evening across #Virginia and #Maryland, with an isolated thunderstorm or two possible tonight. Another shot of cold air moves in after Friday, bringing morning lows in the low 40s (and some upper 30s) for the weekend and highs only in the 60s. #VAwx #MDwx
Probably time to update the ol' avatar to something more seasonal, eh?
Showers most of the day tomorrow with highs only in the 60s, mostly south of D.C. 70s the rest of the week, with a few showers and thunderstorms Wednesday afternoon and evening. #VAwx
Just saw that NWS issued a freeze watch from Staunton to Spotsylvania to D.C. and into central and western Maryland (including Baltimore) mostly for Tuesday morning; temps in these areas will likely dip to freezing for a few hours between 1am and 6am (I know, I know…I had just posted last night that it didn’t look like it was going to get that cold 😬💀)
Looking further down the road, we have another week of relatively cool temperatures, before 80s return after the 16th. In the meantime, spotty showers tomorrow, then more widespread rain on Monday.
Really heavy rain heading into Leesburg now, then Ashburn.
Once the cold front sparking these storms gets south of us tomorrow evening, we’re in for a treat: overnight lows in the low 60s (upper 50s in the valley!) and highs only around 80, maybe 79 or 78 on Thursday! Get your sweaters out! LOL!
If you're waking up not feeling great this morning, temperatures right now are 30+ degrees colder than yesterday, on top of pollen levels remaining high. 🤢🤒
NWS expanded the freeze watch further east and south, to now include part of the Richmond area (mostly west of I-95). Still a bit skeptical of temps dropping below 38º in the #RVA but we’ll see. At any rate, it’s just for one morning, we’ll quickly warm up the rest of the week.
Cloudy and a touch chilly tomorrow (technically today now, lol) with highs only in the mid 50s; rain will be confined to far southeast Virginia; warmer next week especially Monday to Wednesday with low 80s likely. #VAwx
Much warmer tomorrow, mid 70s for most folks, after lows in the morning near 50. Mid 80s return Thursday.
Storms starting to pop now, one over Williamsburg where a severe thunderstorm warning is in effect, a few more just west of Charlottesville, and up by Harrisonburg, and generally scattered around the Shenandoah Valley. The Wakefield radar is unfortunately down so tracking storms around Richmond may be tough until it comes back online, hopefully soon.
The extreme temperature swings will continue, as we go from 30s in the morning this week to morning temps in the 60s next week (with 90s for highs!)
Our first storms of the day have arrived on scene between Culpepper and Winchester moving towards Warrenton and Brandy Station.
Clouds and fog early, then sun returns the rest of the day; highs in the low 70s; cloudy and chilly on Saturday, with showers likely south and southeast of Richmond most of the day. #VAwx
Rain on Wednesday will arrive around noon or early afternoon in central #Virginia and central #Maryland and continue through late evening, with some thunderstorms popping up after 7pm according to the short range models. Temperatures the rest of the week will continue in the upper 60s/low 70s. #VAwx #MDwx #DCwx

Los modelos de corto alcance muestran algunas lluvias ligeras que pasan por #Virginia hoy de noroeste a sureste, pero bastante ligeras y no durarán mucho; También son posibles algunas lluvias/tormentas irregulares el viernes por la tarde, principalmente en el este de Virginia. Máximos a mediados de los 80. #VAwx
Frost advisories are in effect now from Fredericksburg to #RVA and Emporia and west to Roanoke, while a freeze warning remains in effect through tomorrow morning from Charlottesville to Winchester.
Temps will rebound nicely after tomorrow with 80s and some 90s coming next week.
Potential overnight temperatures Tuesday night/Wednesday morning behind Sunday’s cold front could dip into the upper 20s west of the Blue Ridge/Shenandoah Mountains, so some folks might have to keep that frost cloth handy a little longer to protect sensitive plants. But such is March/April weather! #VAwx #MDwx #DCwx
Showers already well underway north and west of Richmond, should be arriving in #RVA in the next one to two hours

@flyhigh We’re expected to see a super strong El Niño pattern this summer, possibly lasting into next spring, and that would only intensify summer heat and also bring us a warm winter.

Hoy llegan lluvias de noroeste a sureste, ayudando a limpiar el aire de niveles muy altos de polen, al menos temporalmente. Las temperaturas estarán cerca de las heladas mañana por la mañana, pero el aire frío será de corta duración y los 80 volverán a la región a mediados de la próxima semana. #VAwx #MDwx #DCwx #RVA

@nomdeb Right! Some mornings I have to put on a light jacket and then by noon, I’m sweating and have to shed layers! Annoying!

@Bodling@deacon.social I just saw earlier that the cherry orchard that’s connected to Chiles and Carter Mountain had 100% crop failure from two freezes we’ve already had this spring 😭
