A powerful Nor’easter developing tonight in the Mid-Atlantic promises to deliver every type of winter precipitation imaginable across the metro region. Heavy snow is likely to plaster our far north and west areas. A mix of accumulating snow, sleet and rain will hit the District and close-in suburbs, while our southern and eastern areas see more cold rain with some sleet and snow mixed in.
Precipitation will move into the region between about 6 and 9 p.m. but should not cause problems for the evening commute given temperatures above freezing.
Overnight, conditions will vary considerably over short distances. You may only have to travel 10 miles to go from 5 to 10 inches of snow to very little. Tuesday morning’s commute is likely to be a mess with heavy snow in our colder areas and a sloppy mix in the immediate metro.
