DC snow: Several inches possible Sunday into Monday

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.
