Snow Day!!

Everyone's been talking about the possibility/probability of snow tomorrow. This is the south, where any kind of winter weather is always an "event."

Alert: Winter Storm Warning Issued

Clear commute; deteriorating conditions overnight

*Winter Storm Warning from 11 p.m. tonight to 10 p.m. Friday night*

A STORM MOVING IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST WILL BRING PRECIPITATION INTO THE COLD AIR ALREADY IN PLACE OVER THE REGION. THE RESULT WILL BE LIGHT SNOW OVERNIGHT...FOLLOWED BY FREEZING RAIN FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT. -National Weather Service

CommuteCast: Temperatures today have risen to around freezing north and west of the District and into the mid 30s for the city as well as locations south and east. Earlier sunny skies are now giving way to increasing clouds and this will continue through the evening commute.

A first guess at accumulation potential for tonight through early Saturday. Black stripe indicates where we estimate surface temperatures will be at or below freezing (above the line) and at or above freezing (below the line) at about 6 p.m. tomorrow.

Tonight: Light snow is likely to move into the region around or before midnight and temperatures below freezing area wide will allow whatever falls to accumulate. By sunrise, 1-3 inches of snow may be on the ground across much of the area, with possibly a little more north of the city and a little less to the south and east. Lows will reach the mid 20s for most locations.

Tomorrow: Friday promises to be a wintry mess across the region as snow transitions to a mix of sleet and freezing rain from south to north during the morning. By late in the day, temperatures may nudge above freezing in DC and points south and east, but how far north the freezing line makes it is still uncertain at this time. Daytime highs are expected to be near or below freezing from DC north and west, while locations south and east may top out in the mid 30s. Precipitation is likely to continue into the night and early Saturday.
