11:20 pm
it's so cold up above the surface that anything that falls is not going to have time to melt to rain i don't think. we're mainly going to be tracking just snow across the area. notice some moderate snow potentially in frederick and leesburg tomorrow during the overnight hours. now, by 5:00 a.m. really the majority of the snow, the potential for snow already off to the east. maybe a few flurries around monday. but the main event looks to be sunday night into early monday. as we look ahead to monday here's what i know right now. it's on the cold side. we're only in the 30s throughout the day. any snow showers mainly during the early morning hours. most of us we're going to see under an inch. anybody seeing around an inch looks to be in loudoun, northern montgomery, going to be updating the forecast tomorrow morning. but still you know what a little bit of snow does around here. i would allow some extra time for that monday morning commute. tuesday around 50. after
