The National Weather Service has issued a Dense Fog Advisory for Montgomery County and surrounding areas until 10 am on Thursday, March 5.
Temperatures are expected to trend warmer as the week progresses, but just how warm remains uncertain. While the high end of the forecast range could push highs toward 80° this coming weekend, it is also possible that temperatures only reach the 60s. An 80° day before we spring forward would certainly feel fitting.
The National Weather Service has released some snow totals from trained spotters across the DMV at various times Monday afternoon/evening. Not every community has an available measurement, and the timing of each report can lead to differences in what you’re seeing at home. Your backyard may look a bit different from the official totals, depending on when and where the snow was measured.
