Discussion

An area of moisture from the south-central US will cause a burst of snow and/or ice around here from very late tonight through the morning hours on Friday and there can be some slick spots during the morning rush hour. While it’ll turn slightly milder tomorrow afternoon with light "plain" rain likely, we cannot rule out some freezing in the suburbs well north and west of the District or even some ice pellets being mixed in at times in those suburbs. Much milder air wins out completely on Saturday and we are headed for a soaking rain event. Rain will come down hard during the afternoon and early evening hours with an inch of rain possible by the time the storm winds down late Saturday night. Sunday will feature clearing skies with windy conditions.
