The Washington D.C. region is bracing for significant snowfall on Sunday evening, with chances of accumulating snow increasing as a winter storm approaches. Forecasters predict up to 5 inches of snow may blanket parts of the area, particularly in Northern Virginia and Maryland. The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for the entire Washington D.C. metropolitan area, warning residents to prepare for icy conditions and possible travel disruptions. Meteorologist Jim Overland stated, “We expect the snow to start in the late afternoon, with the heaviest precipitation occurring between 4 PM and 10 PM.” The storm is projected to be accompanied by winds exceeding 20 mph, which could lead to reduced visibility and hazardous road conditions. Additionally, Central Virginia is also under consideration for wintry weather events, with predictions of light snow and icy conditions to develop throughout the region. Central Virginia meteorologist Lisa Lee remarked, “There is still uncertainty in the forecasting models, but residents should remain vigilant and prepared for changing conditions.” As the region gears up for the onset of winter weather, officials urge commuters to allow for extra travel time and prioritize safety.
