Washington, D.C
Updates: Light accumulation and slick this morning, with heavier snow by evening
In and around the Beltway, totals are mostly under half an inch so far, with around an inch observed in places such as Herndon, Manassas and Broad Run.
Snowflakes may continue to flutter a good chunk of the day without accomplishing more than a dusting to a few tenths of an inch on top of what has fallen. Light rates and what little sun rays make it through the clouds help keep snow from adding up, even with cold temperatures.
It is still quite cold — mostly mid-20s across the area, with some upper 20s toward southern Md. Given the cold conditions, any melting will also be minimal.
Even downtown and places south or east, temperatures likely only briefly flirt with freezing this afternoon, with readings falling back into the 20s before or around sunset. Periods of moderate and perhaps briefly heavy snow become more likely this afternoon and heading into evening, when a few inches can fall.
7:00 a.m. update – Minor accumulation early morning, numerous slick spots
Snow in the area this morning has mainly been of the very light variety. Cold temperatures ranging across the 20s have allowed it all to stick, causing rather widespread slick spots on roadways and sidewalks. Untreated spots and lesser-traveled side roads are reported to be particularly slippery.
For the most part, it’s been a dusting to a third of a half inch of snow across the pre-dawn hours. Not a lot — just enough to cause issues.
We should see lulls intermixed with light snow until it picks up in intensity this afternoon and evening. Most of the snow will fall this evening. Additional snowfall accumulation during the day is likely minor, mainly on untreated roads and sidewalks or on grassy and elevated surfaces.
With temperatures struggling to get past freezing this afternoon, any heavier bursts that do occur can accumulate more readily. And once the sun starts going down again, ice risks increase into the night.
A somewhat subjective rating of the day’s weather, on a scale of 0 to 10.
5/10: Right in the middle. An average of those who like snow and those who don’t.
- Today: Some light snow early. Steadier snow develops in afternoon. Highs: Upper 20s to mid-30s.
- Tonight: Periods of snow. Lows: Mid-20s to around 30.
- Tomorrow: Some light snow or freezing rain, mainly early. Highs: Near 30 to mid-30s.
It’s been almost two years to the day (tomorrow) since we last saw an inch of snowfall in Washington in a calendar day. We seem about to end that drought — the second longest on record — with the potential for a couple inches or so through Tuesday. Freezing air will ensure that slick road conditions develop as snow increases from tonight into early Tuesday. Then it stays cold, ensuring the snow sticks around. Not only that, there could also be some more Friday.
Today (Monday): A little snow produces a quick coating early in the day. With temperatures in the low and mid-20s, slippery roads are a risk. Thereafter, snow may pause or become rather intermittent before perhaps increasing in the early afternoon. Any light snow during the day before midafternoon may not stick well to roads as temperatures climb into the low 30s. But, especially as snow becomes steadier later in the afternoon and temperatures fall when darkness approaches, more will stick to more surfaces. Winds are from the southeast around 5 to 10 mph. Confidence: Medium-High
Tonight: Snow intensity should pick up heading into evening, and roads could well become icy area-wide. Snow could be moderate at times for a few hours through about midnight before easing into the pre-dawn hours. By that point, 1 to 3 or 2 to 4 inches of snow should be common. The snow could switch to a little freezing rain toward dawn, especially from the District and to the south and east. Lows range from 25 to 30. Confidence: Medium

Tomorrow (Tuesday): Snow or mixed precipitation is possible early, and untreated roads will be slick; expect school delays and cancellations. But we should start to dry out later in the morning or by around midday, and little additional snow accumulation is expected. Highs range from the low to mid-30s, from northwest to southeast. Winds pick up out of the northwest with time. Confidence: Medium
Tomorrow night: There may be an evening flurry, but skies should be trending clearer through the night. It’s the coldest night of the season so far, with lows ranging across the teens. Confidence: Medium-High
The sun is back on Wednesday, but it’s cold. Highs range from about 30 to the low 30s, helping keep snow and ice around. Lows Wednesday night are in the teens and low 20s. Confidence: Medium
It turns cloudier Thursday as the next chance of wintry weather approaches. Highs reach the mid-30s or so. Some light snow could develop at night. Confidence: Medium
Another weak storm system passes by the area Friday. It could produce another round of light snow, with highs in the low to mid-30s. Confidence: Low-Medium
A reinforcing shot of cold air is on tap for the weekend. Highs may get stuck in the 20s to low 30s Saturday as winds again gust from the northwest, and a flurry is possible. They moderate to 30 to 35 by Sunday with sunshine still sticking around. Confidence: Medium
A daily assessment of the potential for at least 1 inch of snow in the next week, on a 0-10 scale.
8/10 (↑): Snowflakes that start Monday morning could add up to a couple inches or so, especially into tonight. Seems the snow drought is going to break. Maybe some more Friday.

D.C.’s mayor and interim police chief took questions on immigration enforcement after an ICE agent shot and killed an unarmed woman in Minneapolis.
“If we don’t want ICE in our communities, we have to stop funding ICE – and that decision isn’t made here; it’s made at the Congress,” Mayor Muriel Bowser said.
The mayor was asked about her reaction to the killing.
“To me, it just is reflected, when you have people who are unaccustomed to urban policing trying to police in an urban environment. What it looked to me like – very bad, and I’m not a police officer, I’m not in law enforcement – but what I saw was completely avoidable, and a woman died,” she said.
“ICE is patrolling American cities. If we don’t want that, the Congress has to stop funding ICE, because thousands of agents who are untrained to police in urban environments are on our streets,” Bowser added.
In two recent incidents in D.C., federal agents opened fire on drivers who the agents claimed were trying to hit them with their vehicles. In those cases, no one was injured.
Interim Chief of Police Jeffery Carroll was asked about public concerns that might happen here again.
“A lot of these individuals, they don’t work in urban policing. So, us working with federal authorities in the policing operations, being out there, actually helps us make sure that we can work in those areas to help control what’s going on,” he said.
“Obviously, I can’t assure you of anything. Obviously, I can assure you every situation is different, right, that officers encounter out there,” he added. “But I think having the relationship and having the federal authorities working with the officers does help to mitigate some of the challenges that we have with that.”
Nadeau’s report on DC cooperation with immigration enforcement
Departing D.C. Councilmember Brianne Nadeau released a scathing report Thursday that’s critical of how MPD and the Bowser administration have cooperated with federal immigration enforcement.
“The primary finding is the loss of trust between the public and MPD,” she told News4. “The challenge that we’re finding is that the mayor and the chief’s interpretation of the Sanctuary Values Act has opened up a vulnerability whereby they are essentially cooperating with ICE in a manner that does not match with the intent of the law.”
Bowser declined to comment on the report.
Carroll said he has not decided whether to make any changes to MPD policies on cooperating with immigration enforcement.
Last month, Councilmember Brooke Pinto, who oversees public safety, sent a letter to the then-chief requesting detailed answers to several questions related to MPD’s cooperation with federal law enforcement. Carroll said Thursday that he will provide a response, which is due to the council by Friday.
In this 4 More Context, News4’s Ted Oberg explains how many people in the D.C. area have been arrested by ICE and why.
