Northern Virginia Weather: Easter Weekend Outlook

Sun and warmer weather will welcome Easter weekend this year across Northern Virginia. 

After Monday’s rare late-March snow, Spring does appear to be making some sort of a comeback.

Friday, local forecasters predict partly cloudy skies with temperatures in the low 50s. Saturday, expect much of the same only a few degrees warmer.

Lows Friday and Saturday night will be in the mid-30s and there is just a 10 percent chance of rain those days.

Easter Sunday—You may still want a light sweater with that Easter outfit. Expect a chance of showers with a high temperature in the upper 50s.

WJLA reported in 2012 that Easter can be a day of weather extremes. The warmest Easter ever was in 1960 when temperatures hit 60 degrees on April 23. The coldest: 15 degrees on April 1, 1923. We’ve even had snow on Easter—almost a foot of it on March 29, 1942.
