DC snow: Several inches possible Sunday into Monday
Snow showers Friday; several inches possible Sunday into Monday
There is potential for snow showers on Friday in the D.C. region, but a greater chance for accumulating snow comes Sunday into Monday, when several inches are possible.
WASHINGTON – Snow lovers, get ready! There is potential for snow showers on Friday across parts of the Washington, D.C. region. However, the greater chance of accumulating snow comes Sunday into Monday, with several inches possible.
FOX 5’s Taylor Grenda says Friday’s snow flurries are likely to move into the region during the middle of the day. “We have the chance for some snow showers developing tomorrow,” she said. “Most of that will be mid-to-late afternoon, so there’s an ongoing threat for that to produce maybe a coating in some spots. Not a huge, huge threat.”
The bigger threat comes at the end of the weekend.
“Late Sunday evening, we’re going to see some snow showers start to develop,” she said. “As it shapes up right now, it looks like we’re going to get several inches of snowfall possible here across the DMV. That rain-snow line is just so close, as we typically see here across the area. But we’ll at least have the chance for some snow to impact the Monday morning commute.”
Grenda says it looks like the snow will stick around for a good part of Monday morning before gradually clearing out throughout the day.
FOX 5’s Mike Thomas says, according to the latest models, there is a good chance parts of the area could see around two inches of accumulating snow due to the storm.
The timing of the snowfall could possibly impact the Monday morning drive to work and school and could potentially lead to some closings and delays.

WASHINGTON (DC News Now) — A Texas man accused of shooting at a United States Secret Service agent near the Washington Monument earlier this month has been indicted on federal charges, the Justice Department announced Friday.
A federal grand jury indicted 45-year-old Michael Marx with “assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers using a dangerous weapon” and “using, carrying, possessing, brandishing, and discharging a firearm during a crime of violence,” in connection with the May 4 incident, in which a stray bullet struck a teenage bystander.
“Today’s indictment reflects the gravity of the defendant’s actions on one of the most heavily visited public spaces in the nation,” U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro said Friday, in part. “The evidence shows Marx not only carried an illegal firearm into DC, but he fired it at uniformed officers, wounding an innocent teenage bystander who was simply visiting the National Mall with his family on a spring afternoon.”
Authorities previously charged Marx with assaulting federal officers with a dangerous weapon, using and discharging a firearm during a crime of violence, and unlawful possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
According to court documents, an undercover Secret Service agent initially noticed Marx trying to conceal a gun on the right side of his body near 15th Street and Madison Drive NW shortly after 3:30 p.m. on the afternoon of the shooting.
At the same time, the motorcade for Vice President J.D. Vance was leaving the White House, passing through the area just up the street.
Uniformed Secret Service officers arrived to provide backup, finding Marx along the path of Vance’s motorcade. The attorney’s office said officers began to give the Texas man verbal commands, but he started running through a crosswalk and eventually fired at one of the agents as he reached the sidewalk.
The bullet struck the teenage bystander, who was walking behind the agent, in the leg, according to the DOJ.
Agents quickly returned fire, striking Marx in the hand, left arm, and upper body, according to court documents.
Court documents state that agents used Marx’s Texas driver’s license, which he was carrying, to identify him as the gunman. Investigators also identified various aliases Marx allegedly went by, including Patrick Michael and Michael Zavici.
While in the hospital, he allegedly made statements to officers, including ”F— the White House,” and “kill me, kill me, kill me,” the DOJ noted in a release.
Police found a Sig Sauer P365 handgun loaded with 9mm ammunition from the street where Marx fell.

May is drawing to a dry, comfortable close, in stunning contrast to the very soggy Memorial Day weather we saw last weekend.
That 10-day stretch of rain put a definite dent in our drought, according to the weekly national drought monitor, but it seems that was the end of the improvement for a while: There’s almost no clouds in sight for the DMV for several days.
Enjoy the many hours of sunshine on Saturday. The high pressure coming in from the Hudson Bay brings a stiff north wind, but the day will also be sunny and comfortable, with highs in the mid 70s.

The wind will die down after dark, and Sunday morning will be bordering on chilly. Expect widespread mid/upper 40s in most of the D.C. area, with urban centers and bayside communities staying just above 50°. Sunday afternoon will be just a bit warmer, in the mid 70s, but with far less of a breeze.
Highs will be back around 80° for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, with overnight lows in the comfy 50s. It’ll be a perfect start to meteorological summer (June/July/August).
