We are still almost a week out and a lot can change, but right now snow lovers are rejoicing as there are strong signals for a winter storm that may materialize mid/late next week.
Due to how far out the threat is, the National Weather Service (NWS) has the entire area under the ‘limited’ category, which means “Light snow and/or sleet accumulation will result in locally hazardous travel conditions, especially on bridges, overpasses, and untreated or secondary roads.”
This weekend will be wet with the slight possibility of a little ice mixed in Saturday that would quickly wash away. Temperatures will increase to near 60° on Sunday, with showers possible early and a breezy afternoon. We’ll continue to monitor the snow threat for next week, which would be from anytime late Wednesday to all day Thursday.
Below, WUSA9’s Jonathan Myers shared some model output numbers for snow potential. It’s too early to rely on these numbers as anything more than just possibilities as everything remains in play– including no snow and rain.
BIG WHOA! A gander at computer models middle and end of next week. WIDELY varying #snow totals, and really way too early to even remotely get a hold on any numbers, but SOMEBODY Mid-Atlantic to the Northeast has the potential of a very significant snowstorm. #WUSA9Weather @WUSA9 pic.twitter.com/CUQMhvjD5N
