Snow potential index — 3/10 (→): Snow showers Thursday are unlikely to do more than coat the ground and a storm later next week looks like rain rather than snow.

DC area under a Winter Weather Advisory (blue shading on map) from NWS for Thursday morning 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. That's when snow showers could drop a quick dusting to one inch, potentially making roads slick during the morning commute. More at cwg.live

Feeling like midwinter today. If DC stays at or below freezing throughout it will be a first this late in the season since 2015. Details @ cwg.live

Radar shows patchy areas of snow well south of the DC area toward Culpeper, Fredericksburg and St. Mary’s County. Anyone down there seeing snow? Some very light snow or flurries could sneak closer to the Beltway area into the afternoon but don’t expect much. Thanks for any reports.

Snow potential index: 3/10 (↓) Batten down the hatches. At some point between Wednesday afternoon and midday Thursday, we could see enough snow to amount to a dusting to around 1 inch.

Winter weather advisories up for southern Maryland and adjacent parts of Virginia on Wednesday afternoon through evening. With cold temperatures, won't take much to cause difficult travel. Snowfall may coincide with commute. Details: cwg.live.

Ribbit! CWG reader Walter Crain sculpted this frog with leftover snow over the weekend in Falls Church, Virginia.

Here's our snow map for Wed-Thurs. We'd actually lean toward the lower end (DUSTING) in the Beltway area but we're on the edge and a slight wobble to the north could give us more -- so this map allows for that. Follow our updates at cwg.live

Programming note: There’s still the possibility of some snow Wednesday and Thursday. We’re analyzing the latest and will have a new briefing by early afternoon.

Snow potential index: 4/10 (↓): Accumulation is iffy Wednesday into Thursday, and probably light if we see any, as we’re on the northern fringe of a storm that's been slipping south.

Major gusts moving in behind the showers along the cold front. Dulles just peaked at 62 mph. Could see similar across the area over the next few hours. Tracking at cwg.live.

3:31 pm: Some quick-hitting but feisty showers reaching the Beltway. Should mainly be DC and north. Could contain some isolated damaging wind gusts as winds increase more generally. Details at cwg.live.

2:01 pm: Winds are about to increase rapidly. Cold front moving through with a couple showers next hour or two then several hours of high wind gusts -- perhaps in pulses. Last chance to secure loose outdoor objects. Details at cwg.live.
