1/29/2026

🌬️ Cold Blast Continues

Bundle up! Highs today only reach the low 20s with wind chills making it feel even colder. Another frigid night ahead with lows dropping into the single digits and wind chills below zero prompting a cold weather advisory.

❄️ Brutal Cold Holds Through Saturday

Friday’s high will hover around 20, and Saturday looks even colder with highs stuck in the teens. Not much change in the pattern through the weekend.

🌥️ Watching the South, But Staying Dry

The winter storm we have been tracking will stay to our south and could bring big snow to the Outer Banks and parts of coastal North Carolina and South Carolina. Virginia looks to dodge the snow, except maybe far south and southeast areas into Delmarva.

🌡️ Gradual Warm-Up Next Week

Sunday edges back into the 20s, and we could flirt with 32 by Monday. By midweek, highs may climb into the low to mid-30s.

🌨️ Eyes on Late Week

We’re keeping an eye on potential activity later next week. Too early for details, but I will be watching closely.

The forecast:

Today: Hi 21 🌤️ Lo 3 🌙 – Mostly sunny and cold, becoming partly cloudy overnight

Friday: Hi 20 🌤️ Lo 6 ☁️ – Mostly sunny and chilly, becoming mostly cloudy overnight

Saturday: Hi 18 ☁️20% Lo 8 ❄️20% – Mostly cloudy with a slight chance of afternoon snow, continuing overnight

Sunday: Hi 23 ⛅ Lo 13 🌙 – Partly sunny and blustery, clearing at night

Monday: Hi 32 ☀️ Lo 15 🌙 – Sunny and cold, mostly clear overnight

January 26, 2026January 26, 2026 admin No Comments

1/26/2026 Cold weather advisory in effect for wind chills as low as -9 tonight!

🌬️ Arctic Blast Grips Loudoun This Week

A brutally cold week is underway across Loudoun County. Daytime highs will struggle to escape the 20s and overnight temps are crashing to near or even below 0°F.

🌞 Sun Helps, But Watch for Ice

Despite the cold, the sun is strong enough now to cause some melting during the day. But once the sun sets, all that water refreezes quickly. Make sure your drainage is clear to prevent ice buildup.

🏫 School Delays and Closings Likely

With these bitter temps and slick conditions, delays or closings are likely this week. Plan ahead each morning and watch for updates.

❄️ Watching Weekend Snow Potential

The European model is hinting at a potentially significant snowstorm this weekend. Still too far out for details but it's something to watch as we head into Saturday and Sunday.

🧊 Be Safe, Stay Warm

Restock supplies, check on neighbors, and keep pets inside. It’s a harsh stretch of weather so take it seriously and stay safe out there!

The forecast:

Today: Hi 25 🌤️ Lo -2 🌙🥶 – Cloudy early, then becoming mostly sunny and clear overnight

Tuesday: Hi 27 ☀️ Lo 5 ⛅🥶 – Sunny with a few clouds

Wednesday: Hi 22 🌤️ Lo 0 ⛅🥶 – Mostly sunny during the day, partly cloudy overnight

Thursday: Hi 19 🌤️ Lo -3 🌙🥶 – Mostly sunny and clear overnight

Friday: Hi 16 🌞 Lo 2 🌙🥶 – Sunny and calm through the day and night

Saturday: Hi 22 ☀️ Lo 5 🌙🥶 – Sunny and clear (watching for potential snow)

Sunday: Hi 26 🌤️ Lo 7 🌙🥶 – Mostly sunny and clear (watching for potential snow)

1/22/2026 Major Winter Storm Coming

January 22, 2026January 22, 2026 admin No Comments

1/22/2026 Major Winter Storm

I cannot help but note that it was ten years ago today that we experienced the Blizzard of 2016. That was the biggest snow I have ever seen, with 37 inches as best I could measure, and it was pure powder. It was a beautiful thing.

The setup for this storm

For the first time in many months, the southern jet stream will contribute to a storm system for our region. This has been the missing ingredient for big precipitation events and is why this storm brings such a strong chance of snow. Energy from the northern jet stream and southern jet stream will merge, or phase, helping to create a significant wintry event. How strongly these two systems combine is delicate.

If they combine too early or become too strong, warmer air will move overtop the cold air and bring more sleet and less snow. That looks very likely for areas from Richmond up to just south of Washington DC. Snow will fall first, then sleet will pile on top of it, creating a crusty layer. This warm air aloft intrusion will slowly progress north and west and will likely impact Loudoun. Areas farther east will see it first, but I suspect all of us will experience a period of sleet.

As of now, sleet looks like it will mark the end of the storm, with most of the significant precipitation already fallen. However, warm air is sneaky and often arrives sooner than snow lovers would like. Because of this, there is a wide range of possible outcomes, all dependent on how that warmer air behaves.

If we remain snow, we will be well into double digit totals. As of now, we have no idea how impactful the warm air aloft intrusion will be. Short range models over the next 24 hours will begin to give us clues. If the storm remains less merged or phases slowly, the warmer air may not make it as far north. That is still a possibility. Fine tuning snow amounts will be a challenge.

This is a huge winter storm

This will be a seriously impactful storm due to ice from Texas eastward to the East Coast, with a wide swath of heavy icing. That heavy icing will reach central Virginia, especially south of Richmond. This will lead to states of emergency and will impact all of us due to disrupted supply routes and the effects of prolonged cold.

The areas hardest hit by ice will have the greatest needs for electricity restoration and supplies. I have attached the national watches map below. This is a massive area being impacted by this storm.

Timing

I would not be surprised to see light snow begin by early Saturday evening. Overnight Saturday and through the first half of Sunday, snow will fall heavily. Rates of one to two inches per hour are possible. Snow may struggle to fully end until Sunday night, although storms like this often wind down faster than expected.

This could depend on whether upper level support tracks directly over us. If it does, we could see additional snowfall.

Totals

My breakdown below reflects my confidence in each range.

• 4 inches, 95 percent certain

• 5 to 8 inches, 80 percent certain

• 8 to 10 inches, 65 percent certain. This is what I expect for most areas, but I need short range model details to increase confidence, especially regarding how much sleet falls versus snow

• 10 to 12 inches, 50 percent certain

• 12 to 14 inches, 30 percent certain

• 14 inches or more, 20 percent certain

I will provide more refined totals later today and tonight.

Cold air

This system will leave very cold air behind, which greatly worsens impacts in ice storm areas. For all of us, it means travel, school, and business impacts will be amplified by nighttime temperatures that could dip below zero. This is a time to check fuel sources and backup options if needed, and to check on neighbors.

Beware the hype train

Whenever big storms approach and long range models hint at additional activity, news outlets and social media amplify it aggressively. I am watching future potential, but there is no way to know anything meaningful about the long range until we get past this storm. We can talk about that when it makes sense. For now, let us focus on this system first.

Be prepared, not scared

I would adjust travel plans and prepare, but do not panic. Many in Loudoun have the resources and ability to help one another. I expect there will be opportunities to help those who are impacted far worse than we are. This is a sizable storm, but we will be alright. Pray for those in the ice impacted areas and prepare as best you can. That is all any of us can do.

Look for mid-day and evening updates.
