5:30 a.m. Update: A mix of light rain and snow is likely as precipitation gradually exits from north to south by around 9 a.m. While grassy areas may see a light accumulation, especially north of D.C., air temperatures just above freezing (and warmer ground temperatures) should prevent any snow or ice build-up on paved surfaces.

FORECAST IN DETAIL

Sunshine should reemerge this afternoon after some early snow showers. But temperatures run about 10 degrees behind yesterday, along with a cool breeze. We’ll rebound warmer tomorrow and Tuesday, before cooling off again Wednesday. Meanwhile precipitation is of the “polite” variety, mainly confined to evening or overnight hours.

Today (Sunday): Snow showers could linger until about 9 to 10 a.m. this morning. With early-to-midmorning temperatures in the 30s, a light accumulation is possible, mainly on grass and side roads north and northwest of the District. Winds gust from the north about 25 mph, so it’s not a particularly pleasant day outside, even with skies turning partly to mostly sunny as we head into afternoon. Highs range from the mid-40s to around 50. Confidence: Medium-High

Tonight: The winds tend to die off quickly this evening, so that’s a plus. Otherwise, we’re partly cloudy and cool, with overnight lows down to the 30s. Confidence: High
