A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 A.M. TUESDAY FOR COUNTIES ALONG & WEST OF I-95

OVERNIGHT: WEATHER ALERT
Snow mixing with freezing rain. Patchy fog possible
Temps: 30-35
Winds: Southeast 5 mph
The next round lifts north overnight, and the type of wintry weather changes with time. It may start as snow in spots, then trends toward sleet and freezing rain as warmer air pushes in above the surface. Temperatures are borderline in the lower elevations, so any glaze should be light and favor bridges, overpasses, and other colder, elevated surfaces. The ridges are the higher-confidence trouble spots, where ice amounts could reach a tenth to a quarter inch and make travel difficult. A winter weather advisory remains in effect where confidence is highest, with the potential for adjustments if the cold air hangs in longer than expected. Be on the looking out for patchy fog.

TUESDAY: AM WEATHER ALERT
Wintry mix to areas of rain
Highs: 38-46
Winds: South 5-10 mph
Milder air works north through the morning, helping most areas transition to plain rain as the system lifts away. Any leftover wintry issues fade as temperatures rise, and the steadier rain diminishes during the afternoon with forcing shifting north of the region. A winter weather advisory is set to expire at 10 a.m., however, parts may come down ahead of schedule. Many locations hold in the 40s, and another rain maker could swing through Tuesday night.

WEDNESDAY:
Mostly cloudy. Showers
Highs: 55-60
Winds: Southwest 5-10 mph
Milder and muggier conditions are expected midweek with highs in the 50s. Warmer highs in the 60s are likely south and west of D.C. Clouds will be prevalent with scattered showers continuing to dot radar.

THURSDAY:
Scattered showers
Highs: 58-68
Winds: Southwest 5-10 mph
Unseasonably mild air stays in place with a periodic chance of showers depending on how close passing weather makers and fronts get to the DMV. The overall signal remains: warmer than normal, with off-and-on wet weather moments rather than a single high-impact event.
