Here’s a detailed look at what to expect in the next several days.

Tonight’s Snow Showers and Low Temperatures

Tonight, snow showers will begin mainly after 10 p.m., with a strong chance of precipitation at 90%. Temperatures will drop to around 16 degrees Fahrenheit, making it a cold night ahead. The southwest wind will be light, so wind chill won’t be extreme, but the cold combined with wet conditions means roads and sidewalks could become slippery.

Expect new snow accumulation to be less than one inch, but even this small amount can create slick spots, especially on untreated surfaces. If you need to be out late, dress warmly and allow extra travel time.

Saturday’s Snow Showers and Flurries

Saturday will start with a chance of snow showers before noon, then taper off to flurries between noon and 1 p.m. The sky will remain mostly cloudy, and the high temperature will reach near 34 degrees. Winds will come from the west at 5 to 7 mph, bringing a light breeze but nothing too harsh.

Snow accumulation on Saturday is expected to be less than half an inch, so while it won’t be a heavy snowfall, it could still add a dusting to roads and grassy areas. This kind of weather is typical for late winter and can make outdoor plans a bit unpredictable.

Saturday Night and Sunday’s Weather

Saturday night will stay mostly cloudy with lows around 21 degrees. Winds will be light and variable, meaning they could shift direction but remain gentle overall.

Sunday will bring partly sunny skies with a high near 39 degrees. The light southeast wind will add a bit of warmth compared to the previous days. Sunday night will again be mostly cloudy with lows around 30 degrees, signaling a slight warming trend but still chilly.

Washington’s Birthday and Early Week Outlook

Washington’s Birthday on Monday will be mostly cloudy with a high near 42 degrees. This is a modest rise in temperature but still within the cool range for this time of year. Monday night will remain mostly cloudy with lows around 32 degrees.

Tuesday will continue the trend with mostly cloudy skies and a high near 42 degrees. Tuesday night will cool down again to around 29 degrees, so frost is possible in some areas.

Midweek Rain and Snow Mix

Wednesday brings a more active weather pattern with rain and snow likely. The high temperature will be near 41 degrees, and the chance of precipitation is 60%. This mix of rain and snow can create slippery conditions on roads and sidewalks, especially during the transition periods when temperatures hover near freezing.

Wednesday night will maintain a 50% chance of rain and snow with lows around 26 degrees. This means some areas could see icy patches overnight, so caution is advised if you are traveling.

Thursday’s Chance of Rain and Snow Showers

Thursday will have a chance of rain and snow showers with partly sunny skies and a high near 37 degrees. The chance of precipitation is 40%, so while it may not be a washout, you should be prepared for scattered wet snow or rain showers throughout the day.

This kind of weather can make outdoor plans tricky, so keep an eye on the forecast and dress in layers to stay comfortable.
