Two of the snowier possibilities
An area of low pressure is expected to bring precipitation to the area on Saturday, but exactly how much and what type has not yet been pinned down. It is not a particularly strong system, and the temperatures will be right on the border, so anything from a light rain/snow mix to a nice fluffy 4 inches is possible.
A more northerly track would lead to a very weak storm that would be mostly light rain throughout the day Sunday, with some flakes mixed in early. However, a more southerly track and a stronger low pressure system would lead to a sustained light to moderate snowfall starting late Friday night and tapering off Sunday evening.
At this point, the middle ground seems most likely: a light snowfall of an inch or two with a bit of rain mixed in towards the end, especially south and in the District. That said, it's always colder up north near Damascus, and the cows there could see three or four inches of snow.
By no means a significant storm, this should be a nice snow to brighten up the break, and bigger things may be in store for next week, when a system makes its way up the coast.
