THURSDAY EVENING: Mostly cloudy by late evening

A blustery chill is in store today ahead of a strong cold front that will bring even colder weather for tomorrow. Plan for highs in the 40s with gusty breezes adding an extra chill to the air. Wind chills will top out in the upper 30s this afternoon with wind chills in the 20s for your evening plans.

Snow showers will develop around 2 a.m. southwest of D.C. near Luray, Culpeper and Fredericksburg, Virginia. Snow will move to D.C. by 4 a.m. A very cold night is ahead with low temperatures well below freezing. Expect added clouds ahead of our next weather maker that may block the view of the full “cold moon.”

The coldest air of the season arrives Friday with many neighborhoods not getting above freezing! Wind chill temperatures will hold around the lower to mid-20s all day. A few snow showers will whiten the ground during the morning and early afternoon hours could see some light freezing rain. Snowfall amounts: Expect a light dusting just north of D.C., 1 inch possible in D.C. and around 2 inches of snowfall now in the forecast from Culpeper, Virginia, to Waldorf, Maryland. Higher totals may be recorded within any heavier banding. Untreated roads will become slick during the morning rush and any slush left on roads during the evening will freeze.
