Light snow possible over the weekend in D.C. region

Snow might come to the D.C. area this weekend, but anyone hoping for another Snowmageddon will be disappointed.

The National Weather Service reported there’s a possibility of rain and snow in the D.C. area from about 4 a.m. to 9 a.m. Saturday and after 3 p.m. (only a chance of rain is in the forecast for the middle of the day). Forecasters also predict a chance of snow Saturday evening, primarily before 9 p.m. 

Little or no accumulation is expected in D.C. and the closest suburbs, and there’s a possibility of less than half an inch of accumulation in areas to the north and west of the city.

After a high temperature today of 51 degrees, Saturday’s high will drop to about 42, with the mercury tumbling to a high of 32 on Sunday, forecasters said.

Any attempts to build a snowman this weekend will probably have to be saved for another time.
