Say it ain’t snow: Winter weather on the radar Sunday night
It was in the 70s on Friday, so surely there could not be snow in the forecast. Spring is visible just around the bend!
All the same, a snow chance is — unfortunately — in the forecast. Not much, and most should fall overnight where it can’t dampen your day but it is coming nonetheless.

NBC Washington Meteorologist Lauryn Ricketts said the snow is most likely to fall between Sunday night and Monday morning.
“There will be a little disturbance that passes through the region on Sunday night into Monday,” Ricketts said. “This could bring some light snow and rain showers to the area but we are not expecting any accumulation or any issues on the roads Monday morning.”
What snow does fall will be little more than a light dusting, and there’s almost no chance for it to accumulate.
