A Winter Storm Watch is now in effect from Sunday afternoon through Monday morning for a large portion of Maryland and Northern Virginia, and the region’s four major TV weather teams have released their first call snowfall maps. While details are still being refined, all indications point to a potentially impactful event, especially late Sunday into early Monday.
NBC4’s initial forecast places much of the area in the 2 to 6 inches or more range, with higher totals possible east of the metro. FOX5 is fairly similar, showing widespread 3 to 6 inch totals across much of central Maryland and Northern Virginia. WUSA9 also has most of the region in the 2 to 6 inch range, aligning closely with NBC4 and FOX5.
ABC7 is currently the most conservative of the four, emphasizing probabilities rather than fixed totals. Their forecast gives the DC metro area a 70 percent chance of seeing 1 to 4 inches of snow, with higher amounts still possible but considered less likely at this time…
