5:05 pm: Steadiest snow is over. We'll see it end next hour or so. A snow shower not impossible after that this evening.

Temps upper 20s-low 30s could promote a slick spot but roads mainly wet.

Wintry mix turning to freezing rain/rain late night. Main impact north and west of I95, likely minor.

Good Sunday morning! Highs flirt with 50 today, an acceptable start to March despite the cool breeze.

We lurch back to winter tomorrow with a chance of light snow midday into evening; ma Can't rule out a very light accumulation. We're watching a wintry mix chance tomorrow night.

High temperature forecast for Saturday shows a lot of 60 and higher except in northern MD and near the chillier bay.

High temperature forecast for Saturday shows a lot of 60 and higher except in northern MD and near the chillier bay.

Warmest day of climatological winter on its final day? Maybe. DC needs 63 or higher. It'll be close.

Fewest days in the 60s in winter in more than a decade with four so far. Often see our first 70 already. That could come late next week.

Update on potentially wintry systems early next week:

A potential system Mon-Mon evening has trended drier. Too soon to say it won't snow, but that's possible. If it does snow, it's probably 1-2" at most.

Light wintry mix possible late Mon night-Tue AM, but only if precip arrives early enough.
