After a dramatic change to cold weather locally and snow to part of the Northeast to start the weekend, a storm coming on Sunday has the potential to bring snow, ice and travel problems to the Washington, D.C., area.
Colder air will settle in Saturday and Saturday night, paving the way for wintry travel around the region Sunday.
While a large amount of snow is not expected, the city could receive its first inch or two of snow of the season, joining some of the northern and western suburbs from Friday night's storm.
Warmer air is forecast to move in during the storm Sunday evening through Monday, causing a changeover to a wintry mix, then rain from the coast to inland areas.
As usual, areas north and west of the city will have the longest duration of snow and ice, where there is the risk of some downed trees and sporadic power outages, as well as more general slippery road conditions.
There may be flight delays Sunday through Monday due to snow and wintry mix at first, then from rain and low ceilings later.
