The first two storms of this week will bring rain to the Washington, D.C., area Tuesday and Wednesday. However, there is a slight chance the third storm will bring some snow to the region Wednesday night into Thursday.
Expect some rain-related travel delays Tuesday into Wednesday.
Temperatures will be well above freezing through the day Wednesday, so no real problems from snow and ice are in store until then.
Just enough cold air will move in Wednesday night and Thursday to support snow or a mix of snow and rain.
The problem is a storm may be too far offshore to tap lingering moisture and bring snow in the first place, let alone bring heavy snow.

Will It Snow on February 2 at East Rutherford, N.J.?
If it were to snow with the third storm in the Northeast, chances are it would not be a major snowfall and the snow would be spotty in nature.
AccuWeather.com meteorologists will continue to monitor the potential for snow Wednesday night into Thursday.
The weather will be significantly colder later this week into the coming weekend, but not nearly as cold as the arctic outbreak of early last week.
