Latest Snow Predictions For Friday In NoVA: Timing, Forecast

VIRGINIA — Northern Virginia could see a dusting of snow Friday as a winter weather system moves through the region, potentially disrupting holiday travel plans in parts of the state.

According to the National Weather Service, a hazardous weather outlook is in effect for the Washington, D.C. area and the Interstate 95 corridor on Friday.

Scattered light rain and snow showers were forecast to push east Friday morning mainly along and north of Interstate 66 and U.S. Highway 50, according to the outlook. Light accumulating snow is possible mainly west of Interstate 95 and north of Interstate 70.

Additional rain and snow showers are expected Friday afternoon and evening as a low-pressure system moves through the state, NWS forecasters said.

According to the Capital Weather Gang's latest forecast, there's a chance of a light and spotty rain-snow mix this afternoon, especially north of the District.

"There could be a grassy coating, mainly well north and northwest of Interstate 95. Weather-related travel disruptions should be few," the Capital Weather Gang said. "While pavement is snow-free, drivers may behave differently when flakes are visible."
