Snow Coming To Arlington This Week: Forecast

ARLINGTON, VA -- Miss the snow? Well, it's likely back in Arlington this week -- although certainly not to the extent of the last storm.

We now appear likely to get around 1 to 2 inches of snow Tuesday afternoon and evening, and a "rapid freeze" should keep it around, according to the Washington Post's Capital Weather Gang.

The National Weather Service agrees, predicting snow accumulation of 1 to 2 inches as temperatures plunge into the low 20s Tuesday night.

It will be extremely cold on Wednesday, with lows possible reaching the single digits in the evening. There's a chance of snow showers on Friday.

Things will start warming up by the weekend, as highs reach near 40 on Saturday and all the way up to the high 40s on Sunday.
