Sat Feb 08 11:40:00 UTC 2025: ## DC Area Braces for Potential Snow Tuesday, Second Winter Storm This Week
**WASHINGTON, D.C. —** The Washington, D.C. metro area is facing the possibility of significant snowfall Tuesday, prompting a Weather Impact Alert. The National Weather Service predicts snow beginning Tuesday morning and lasting throughout the day and into the night. Accumulations are projected to range from one to four inches, with the heaviest snowfall potentially impacting southern Maryland. Untreated roads could become hazardous, leading to potential school closures or delays and prompting recommendations for telework.
While a low-pressure system passing south of D.C. on Monday may bring a few flurries to southern counties, the main concern is Tuesday’s storm. Temperatures will hover around freezing in D.C. and near 30 degrees in the suburbs. The forecast remains fluid and could change, but residents are urged to prepare for potential travel disruptions.
This snowfall follows another expected winter weather event on Saturday, with snow and sleet predicted from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m., potentially resulting in a coating to an inch of accumulation. A mix of rain and snow is also forecast for Wednesday morning, transitioning to dry conditions before possible showers or a mix return Wednesday night. Thursday is expected to see mostly rain, though a brief wintry mix is possible in the morning. The National Weather Service advises residents to monitor forecasts closely and take necessary precautions.
