The return of cold air will pave the way for snow to make a late-season appearance in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday.
Monday is shaping up to be a cold day across the Washington, D.C., area despite a good deal of sunshine.
Temperatures will be held to the lower 40s, which is more representative of a typical January day. A high in the upper 50s is more common this time of year.
The cold will continue through Tuesday, setting the stage for snow to return.
While the storm delivering the snow will not evolve into a blizzard until after bypassing Washington, D.C., a coating to an inch or two of snow is still expected for the nation's capital.

The majority of the snow will accumulate on grassy and elevated surfaces and not on roads due to the effects of the strong March sun. It would take a heavy burst of snow, which cannot be ruled out for Tuesday, for roads to briefly turn slippery during the day.
Blustery winds in the wake of the snow will lead to an even colder day on Wednesday, especially in terms of AccuWeather.com RealFeel® temperatures.
The cold will finally ease later in the week as winter loosens its grip and opens the door for another brief surge of mild air.
