According to FOX 5 DC, snow showers may begin anytime after midnight, with areas along the I-95 corridor likely to see snow transition to sleet and freezing rain. Locations north and west of I-95 have a higher chance of extended snowfall before precipitation shifts to rain later Tuesday morning.
Forecasters warn of slippery, hazardous travel conditions, especially during the morning commute, which could also affect school schedules. By Tuesday afternoon, the region will turn cold and blustery as rain persists.
The rest of the week remains chilly, with dry weather expected Wednesday and Thursday. Another round of winter precipitation is possible Friday night into Saturday morning. Some school districts have already issued delays for Tuesday morning ahead of the storm’s arrival as reported by FOX 5 DC.
