5:15 am
eveng, to be a little after commuteerom time but it may get in on the i tail end of the commuteil end o especially back out to theally west. so, this is something to watch for. i know d.c. has planned forlaed this.th they've done a lot ofey pretreatment and they're ready'e to go in cntase athis is a lita bit stronger coming through this evening and of coursend ofe this front will come throughront this evening. it's going to squeeze out somezt snow showers and i think therehi will be enough snow possibly to accumulate on dusty grassy dg areas and down in southerns do maryland there's the potentialhe for a little bit more but keepiu in mind it's so cold today and y we're not going to have a lotgoo of sunshine to warm up the warup pavement, so once these snowso o showers do begin to fly this evening, they could accumulate e a little bit and it won't take't much to cause some very slippery conditions later on lat this evening. evening just watch out for that and i fi think it will be probably tailr end of the commute.omu tomorrow the arctic air starts coming on in. it's going to be breezy. b bre it's going to be even windy byin the afternoon with some gusts se up over potentially 30 milesly e
