The National Weather Service is tracking a system that could bring accumulating snow to the region early Sunday morning, with most of Maryland and Northern Virginia currently forecast to receive around 2 inches. Updated snowfall projections show a wide range of possibilities depending on how quickly temperatures drop and how the heaviest band sets up.
The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued its first set of graphics for this weekend’s winter storm, highlighting an elevated risk for accumulating snow across much of Maryland, including most of Montgomery County.

Maryland could see multiple chances for wintry weather over the coming days, with several light systems on track to move through the region. While no major storm is guaranteed at this point, the probability of seeing at least an inch of snow is climbing for much of the state.
