Winter weather is on the menu again for Monday in the DC region

March may have arrived, but winter weather is not yet over.

That’s because snow showers are likely by Monday afternoon, but don’t expect much more than a slushy inch around the D.C. area.

As a result, a winter weather advisory will be in effect from 10 p.m. Monday until 10 a.m. Tuesday for counties along and west of Interstate 95.

Temperatures will be in the 30s Monday, which will aid in the snow showers that will develop during the afternoon hours.

Higher elevations west of I-95 could see up to 2 inches of snow.

“We will see some isolated slick spots, especially bridges, ramps and overpasses overnight and early tomorrow morning,” 7News First Alert Meteorologist Eileen Whelan said.

The National Weather Service isn’t planning any advisories, and travel impacts are likely minimal — more nuisance than disruption.

However, temperatures will be in the 40s by Tuesday afternoon. Be prepared to use rain gear throughout the day, though, as the morning will start with wet snow and freezing rain before it warms up later in the day.

Warmer weather and chances of showers will be coming later in the week, with Wednesday temperature rising to the 50s and Thursday ticking up to 70 degree weather.

7News First Alert Forecast

MONDAY:
Becoming cloudy and cold, PM snow showers
Highs: 32-38
Winds: East 5-10 mph
Wintry weather makes a comeback after that little taste of spring over the weekend. Dry weather kick-starts the day with an early morning sun giving way to cloudy skies. Flurries and light snow showers will develop during the afternoon hours, as our next weather maker approaches from the west. It will be tough to accumulate more than a slushy inch around most of the DMV thanks to temperatures in the 50s and 60s this past weekend.

MONDAY NIGHT: WEATHER ALERT
Snow mixing with freezing rain, patchy fog
Temps: Around freezing
Winds: Southeast 5 mph
Watch for slick spots on area roads overnight, as light snow transitions to freezing rain. Air temperatures will hover around the freezing mark, so elevated surfaces could be icy. Make sure to use extra caution on bridges, ramps, and overpasses. Patchy fog may develop, so watch out for reduced visibility, as well.

TUESDAY: AM WEATHER ALERT
AM wintry mix, PM rain
Highs: 38-46
Winds: South 5-10 mph
Possible weather delays are expected in the morning, as a wintry mix of wet snow and freezing rain starts the day. Temperatures will climb above freezing by mid-morning with all precipitation changing over to rain. Have warm rain gear, as temperatures will only reach the 40s.

WEDNESDAY:
Mostly cloudy, chance for 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.

Chance for showers
Highs: 70-75
Winds: Southwest 5-10 mph
A cloudy and warm day with a chance at a few showers.
