Heads up, D.C.! A heavy snowstorm could hit this weekend, with over a foot of snow possible and temperatures dropping below freezing. Travel may be dangerous on Sunday. Plan ahead!
The Washington, D.C. region is gearing up for a potentially significant snowstorm this weekend as a strong upper-level low drags Arctic air down from the North Pole. While Saturday is expected to remain mostly dry, snow could begin late in the evening, though it may take time to accumulate on the ground.
Sunday is shaping up to be the most challenging day, with heavy snow likely to make travel dangerous or even impossible. The European weather model is predicting over a foot of snow in the D.C. area, while the American model has been more inconsistent.
