Let It Snow

[CRedskinsRule]

Here's what the Washington Post "Capital Weather Gang" predicts:

Tomorrow (Friday): Clouds will quickly thicken during the morning. Snow is likely to begin between mid-morning and early afternoon. A mix with sleet or even rain at the onset is possible along and east of I-95, but most areas will get snow. The precipitation should be light to begin with but expect moderate snow by mid-to-late afternoon with some accumulation by the evening commute. Accumulations may be around 2-4" by dusk as temperatures remain around freezing. Confidence: Medium-High

Tomorrow Night: Snow will be moderate to heavy for a good part of the night with 1 to 2 inch accumulations per hour likely at times. Winds will begin to pick up from the northeast at around 10 to 20 mph, leading to some blowing snow and lowered visibility. The snowfall may let up some in the late-night hours, but it's likely to continue without much too much pause. Temperatures will be in the mid-to upper 20s. By morning, additional accumulations should be around one foot in many spots. Confidence: Medium-High

A LOOK AHEAD

Saturday is likely to start with a second burst of snow in the morning as an upper-level disturbance follows the main storm offshore. Snow should taper off to flurries by or during the afternoon. Temperatures will struggle to make it up to the freezing mark. Look for another 2 to 4" accumulation with total storm snowfall expected to be in the 16 to 26" range most spots (some possibly more, others perhaps less). Temperatures will drop quickly overnight with the fresh snow cover to upper teens and lower 20s. Confidence: Medium-High

Snowfall probabilities:

5% chance: Less than 6"
15% chance: 6-10"
40% chance: 10-16"
40% chance: 16"+
I don't know radar, but this is the moisture feeding the storm and looks mean
