Update: A Winter Storm Watch has been issued for part of the area.
The National Weather Service (NWS) released a “Special Weather Statement” earlier today regarding the storm headed our way late Friday into Saturday morning.
Per the NWS: “Snow will overspread the area from west to east Friday evening and exit Saturday morning. Generally one to three inches of snow is expected at this time. Localized totals upwards of four or five inches are possible wherever the bands of snow set up. Plan on slippery road conditions. The hazardous conditions could impact travel Friday night into Saturday morning.”
The most recent maps from the NWS have the entire DMV between 2-4 inches with a “Reasonable Worst Case” of 5 inches across the area. Right now most models have a widespread 2-4 with the Euro (European model) showing 4-6 inches.
Totals have been creeping up! Much like the January events.
NWS up to 2-3” for DC. Some models like the new European at 4-6”. Most, including the new NBM, are a widespread 2-4”.
