Light Snow Possible In Kingstowne

KINGSTOWNE, VA—The thin blanket of snow covering the DC area was quick to melt, but snow lovers may not have to wait long for an encore.

Temperatures will drop into the 20s in the next few nights, setting the scene for possible winter precipitation, the National Weather Service forecast for Kingstowne says. Keep your eye on the sky beginning Wednesday night as a slight chance of light snow is in the forecast. But that will upgrade to a slight chance of snow showers Friday.

The ground wasn't cold enough for the first snow to stick around, but the second time could be different as temperatures plummet at night. Granted, we would probably only see a light dusting on the ground anyway, the Capital Weather Gang predicts.

Here's the full forecast for the next few days in Kingstowne:

Wednesday night: A 20 percent chance of light snow with mostly cloudy skies and a low temperature of 28.

Thursday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 41.

Thursday night: Mostly cloudy, with a low around 24.

Friday: A 20 percent chance of snow showers with a high around 36 and cloudy skies.

Friday night: A 20 percent chance of snow showers continues with a low of 27 and cloudy skies.
