Snow in the lowlands of Western Washington is looking more likely by Saturday night and into next week as unseasonably cold temperatures continue throughout the region. Forecast models are showing a 50% chance of at least 1 inch of snow starting Saturday or early Sunday, the National Weather Service said in an emailed briefing Monday afternoon.

The NWS office in Baltimore/Washington, D.C., said in Thursday's winter storm warning: "Heavy snow expected. Total snow accumulations between 4 and 8 inches, with localized amounts up to 10 inches. Winds gusting as high as 40 mph, especially on the ridges."

Washington D.C residents have been experiencing extreme cold in recent days, but forecasters say they can expect temperatures to warm up in the very near future.

“There are indeed a few hints that by Feb. 1-2 (Saturday and Sunday of next week) that temperatures overnight could support light snow if precipitation persists. However, we currently are NOT seeing a signal for a major lowland snow event next weekend,” the weather service said in a statement.

The National Weather Service reports moderately cold temperatures and mostly sunny skies in Washington D.C. with a warming trend ahead.

With the last of the rain fizzling out on Thursday, things are looking to be dry and freezing cold in western Washington through the weekend and beyond.
