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. For Friday, forecasters predict partly cloudy skies with temperatures in the low 50s. For 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.
