For D.C. area snow lovers grasping at straws, maybe some flakes late Sunday
The setup is a weak area of low pressure approaching from the west, and then probably redeveloping off the coast, that could produce a few periods of light precipitation — mostly rain or snow, but perhaps a little sleet — between late afternoon Sunday and early Monday.After a fairly chilly day Sunday with afternoon highs probably no higher than the mid-40s, temperatures should fall back into the 30s as the precipitation arrives.
It’s the northern half of the region — roughly north of I-66, D.C. and Route 50 — where temperatures could dip as low as about 32 to 34. That opens the door for the chance of a light accumulation on grass and perhaps on some sidewalks and driveways. Areas to the north of Frederick and Baltimore could see a coating to a couple of inches of snow, with slick roads possible.
The only way for a snowier scenario to unfold in the immediate D.C. area would be if the precipitation falls heavier than expected, causing temperatures to drop more than expected, which seems unlikely as of now. But we’ll keep watching it over the weekend.“Temperatures are expected to cool once the precipitation starts, but still will probably remain above freezing across the area.
After this weekend, snow prospects seem slim to none through at least most of next week, which looks mostly dry until a potential storm by about Friday or the weekend. That one looks like rain for now, but it’s still a long way out.
