Has anyone’s agency made a call for Monday yet?

Every storm in this area plays out exactly like follows:
7 days out: CWG puts out a blurb that "we may get a storm"
2-6 days out: continue to generate clicks to articles saying European or US model predict we could get X number of inches of snow and whip everyone in this area into a mass hysteria about a storm!!!!
1-2 days out: Quietly walk back all predictions and forecast rain saying the rain/ snow line shifted and we get nothing. But they got their clicks, people stocked up unneccessarily.


And to that end, I always say our meteorologists cant accurately predict the weather tomorrow but we are supposed to believe these jokers that they can forecast the Earths temperature 20 years from now? LOL

I am so tired of these indecisive meteorologists. What does NOAA even do?

Plan to be inside, and it won't matter? (Or, as I'm doing, plan to be outside in the rain at one kid's soccer game while the other one is at an indoor birthday party, and be prepared to think hard about your life choices that led you to stand outside in the rain when it's 38 degrees.)

What if I flush ice cubes and sleep with my pajamas inside out tonight?

Nothing, thanks to everyone jinxing it.

So, I get that there will likely be no accumulating snow, but are the temps low enough for the wet roads to be a problem Saturday evening?

It’s hard to say precisely, as models are still mixed on where the rain/snow line will fall at various times of the day. But my money is on a wet slushy mix in the city and immediate suburbs. Maybe some snow early Saturday morning, but turning to slush/rain by mid day.

Further west - but exactly how far is anyone’s guess right now - there will be a signifiant snow event. Maybe as close in as Leesburg, maybe you’d have to go as far out as Front Royal before finding real accumulation.

Will OPM cancel Saturday? Can OPM even do that?

1. What does "for those who care about their families" mean?
2. Costco is extremely what right now?
3. Why are you trying to whip people up into a frenzy? It is unlikely there will be more than a inch or so, in which case it is perfectly possible for people to live their lives as normal.

Check back in on Friday, OP. Models have gone back and forth, and given DC proper anything from rain or 6 inches of snow starting from Saturday, and finishing on Sunday.

Also take into account Tuesday's rainstorm, which right now is looking like an equivalent liquid dump.

Flooding is likely to result from both these events.
