Dense Fog Advisory In Effect Until 10 a.m.

FYI: It's like pea soup out there.

The National Weather Service has issued a dense fog advisory until 10 a.m. for Lorton and the D.C. metro area. Visibility is expected to be less than a quarter mile, and drivers are warned to keep their distance.  Today will be cloudy with the high at 76 degrees with a low of about 57. "Whereas incredibly warm weather is the broken record to our northwest, an easterly flow of air (off the ocean) has moderated temperatures in our region the last several days," according to the Capital Weather Gang. "Yet it’s still unseasonably mild despite the bouts of fog and clouds, and the cooling breeze. That’s the case again Wednesday." Expect more fog on Thursday morning and a high near 77 degrees.

Snow Before Halloween?

Snow is predicted for the weekend, and above average snowfall for the winter.

The most current forcast by the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said La Niña will not be a major influence in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast this winter. La Niña means cold and snow. But, said the forcast.  But the Arctic Oscillation can be a big player. "If the combination of enough cold air and moisture come together this winter, we could see above-average snowfall," reported NOAA. We may experience that "but" this weekend. The National Weather Service has issued a Hazardous Weather Outlook, with snow expected Saturday.  For Burke and the immediate area, little or no snow accumulation is expected.  Up to six inches is expected in the mountains west of D.C.
