A fast-moving winter system is expected to bring a narrow but, potentially intense band of snow to parts of Maryland, including the DC and Baltimore metro areas, late Saturday night into early Sunday morning. The National Weather Service warns that totals will vary sharply depending on where that band ultimately sets up.
Montgomery County’s Department of Transportation is urging residents to use the County’s Snow Portal ahead of a forecasted one to three inches of snow, offering real-time updates on storm response, road treatment, and Ride On bus service adjustments.
Several of the region’s major TV weather teams are starting to roll out early snowfall maps for a system expected to move through the DMV area late Saturday night into early Sunday morning. Some are from last night and others are from this morning, with all likely to be refined throughout today and tomorrow.
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. The storm is expected to arrive Saturday night into Sunday morning, with the potential for lingering impacts into Monday due to very cold temperatures.
The DC region is watching two separate snow chances over the next several days, beginning with a weak system on Friday and followed by a more organized threat Saturday night into Sunday. While confidence remains low for exact totals, meteorologists agree that the second storm has the better potential to bring accumulating snow to parts of Maryland, including Montgomery County.
Maryland and the DC area could see two chances for snow over the next several days, although the strength of each system remains uncertain as models continue to shift. These systems bring a chance of snow on Friday (very light) and another overnight Saturday into Sunday (more snow possible).
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.

A series of fast-moving disturbances could bring multiple rounds of rain and snow to the region over the next several days, according to FOX5 meteorologist Mike Thomas, who outlined three separate systems worth watching between Wednesday and Sunday (the last one is the one to watch for snow lovers).
A snowstorm expected to brush past the region early Monday morning will largely miss the DC area, with only the slightest chance some communities see a few flakes. Forecasters do not anticipate any meaningful travel impacts locally.
