Some Snow on The Way...Really!

Today is Good Friday and the average high temperature is 64. I say that because we'll have temperatures through Easter Sunday some 15 - 20 degrees below average. If you'll be outside for "Sunrise Services" on Sunday morning, temperatures will be well below freezing.

In fact, Sunday morning will likely break record lows as National's is 29 and Dulles's record low is 24. I've talked about the threat to fruit tree blossoms and young buds and once again a Freeze Watch is in effect for tonight.

Another unseasonable event, the threat of some accumulating snow for late tonight into Saturday morning. A fast moving jet stream will bring another piece of energy over the region and that will also develop a surface low. The low will really intensify once it moves off the coast, but the potential exists for some light accumulating snow, especially south of Washington, D.C. Any snow should diminish by mid morning. Road surfaces are still realitively warm, so the largest accumulations will be on grassy surfaces.
