Plan ahead by allowing for extra travel time, and consider using public transportation and telework options. Stay tuned for updates on this potential winter weather episode.

18z euro to us thinking the next weekend threat may be dead

Yeah, I'm on my way

@WxUSAF @MN Transplant @Terpeast @Eskimo Joe I assume this is more for the mountains or for us too? Updated morning AFD mentioned this KEY MESSAGE 3...Light accumulating snow possible midweek. A quick moving clipper system will cross the region during the late Wed night/early Thu time period. While models only predict trace to 0.02 inches water equivalent with this clipper system, this amount falling with temperatures in the low teens and single digits may cause result in SLRs as high as 40 to 1 assuming the snow is able to reach the ground in such a dry air mass. At the very least, a special commuting hazard statement looks likely and in the worst case a Winter Wx Advisory may be required. &&

Anyone know last time the three major airports went below zero actual temperature? Thinking we have a few nights upcoming where we will do so.

BWI and IAD report +PL for official obs at 10am

Monday night is going to be ridiculous cold... already seeing forecasts of below zero actual temps i95 corridor and west

Ripping sleet

Trained Spotter reports 5" in Centerville

I know, just mentioned it because numerous people were saying nope to it and it would be sleet

https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md0054.html The heavy snowfall potential from Pennsylvania and New Jersey northward should continue through the mid to late morning. In northern Virginia, Maryland and Delaware, a changeover to freezing rain is expected by late morning.

SPC's meso disco says we flip to freezing rain by late morning
