Last month would have competed for the coldest January of the 2000s in D.C. if not for a burst of warming right in the middle. Still very cold!
More winter weather threats are on tap this week, but none are clear cut. The midweek ice risk probably focuses north and west of the city, and a big storm may loom in the days after.
D.C.'s far north and west suburbs see sleet and snow today, but mostly rain is expected in the immediate metro area.
While accumulating snow is possible for some late tonight into tomorrow afternoon, especially north and west of D.C., it is not a sure bet for everyone, especially from the District toward points south and east.
Significant snow accumulations are possible for some parts of the area tomorrow morning into midday, while at the same time leaving others with just a slushy or soggy mess.
The appearance of Phil's shadow means winter will extend well into March according to folklore
Especially in our colder north and west suburbs, heavy, accumulating snow is possible during the morning rush hour into midday Monday.
Other than an isolated to scattered shower focused in the midday to afternoon, temperatures well above normal should help make it an enjoyable one for those in attendance.
Open the windows, get outdoors, lose a few layers. All things you might be able to comfortably do in warmer weather this weekend. Our first in a series of storms comes along as we head back to work. Snow?
