Higher elevations north and west for metro washington before you worry about the temperatures. Too warm here. Look at this. Beautiful look at the Potomac River from national harbor. Gorgeous sunshine. Fair weather clouds. Comfortable temperatures. The numbers are running 10 degrees above average for this day in march. 66 in reagan national. West northwesterly winds at 22 miles per hour. Look at the dew point, very low. Its very, very dry outside. That is a concern and wood and the forested area here. No red flag warning for us but we are close to that. We see a change as the colder air moves in. The front will move through and the winds will change for the northwest to deliver us cooler air.

But 3,000, 2,500 feet up in the air where the precipitation is made, at that level it will be below freezing in many spots. Over many spots. That means we could still have snow. Even though it will be somewhat warmer at the paints out here with the high elevation snow. We expect developing in the morning through west virginia, southern ohio. This isnt perfection. This is just a generalized idea of how it should break down. But look at the rain moving in by 1 00 in the afternoon. Possible south and west of town. The everything hours we will have a pocket for the cold winds coming in for the snow. We think accumulation is possible. Its not going to be a pretty picture. The snowfall maybe a trace to an inch on grassy spots. That is it. More. Maybe the Higher Elevations more than one to three. That is way out there. In the work week it will get warmer. There is more football weather than soccer weather but if we look to the next seven days. Forget everything until thursday and friday. Jump ahead. 72 well take that.
