WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Washington, D.C. region continues to brace for the first winter storm of 2025 with a significant snow threat from Sunday night into Monday.
When will the snow start on Sunday?
A sizable amount of snowfall is expected to roll in across the region, late Sunday night into Monday. The storm will start as snow early Monday, then possibly mix with sleet and freezing rain in the morning.
“We still remain in the early stages of this and developing. We could get a burst of snow, which would bring the numbers up, we could get more mix in there, warmer air, which could bring the numbers down,” Gwen Tolbart said.
How much snow could we get on Monday?
The latest forecast shows a widespread five to ten inches of snow possible across much of the D.C. region, with locally more possible. Areas south of D.C. will have a better chance of a mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain.
Temperatures are expected to remain in the low 30s and 20s. The wind chill across the D.C. region is looming in the 10s.
According to the FOX 5 Weather Team, heavy snow is expected Monday morning which will drastically impact traffic and travel.
