Latest Snow Forecast for Northern Virginia

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Spring is almost here, and it may bring a layer of fresh snow with it.

The current forecast calls for rain changing to snow overnight late Saturday. Snow will fall on Sunday — a 70 percent chance. It'll mix with rain on the way out of the region Sunday night.

Some accumulation is possible, according to the National Weather Service, but will mainly be on grassy surfaces.

As is typical, the debate centers on how much. The weather service forecasters say "light amounts."

An Accuweather map puts the D.C. region in the 1-3 range, but their explanation puts it closer to 1 inch.

"Some of the snow that falls will melt on warm, paved surfaces in the mid-Atlantic," they write. "The storm can be mixed with rain for a time in the coastal mid-Atlantic."

The Capital Weather Gang warns there may also be slick spots on the roads late Sunday.
