As you all know, we are getting a lot of rain from Hurricane Zeta these past days. Well, we could actually see our first snowflakes from tonight to early Monday morning! We could see snow showers or a squall. The reason is that a cold front will pass through the DMV today, and temps will drop to the 30's/40's(20's in mountains). When that has happened, there is a chance for precipitation to come in our area; a stray (snow) shower from north, and since the temps are cold enough, there could be some snow! There's a pretty ok chance for it to happen. The air aloft is cold enough support the snow, so ground temps won't really stop the snow(basically the snow can fall without melting mid-air). Like 90% of snow events, it will be more likelier to see snow if you live north and west(I'm pretty sure mountains have and will see snow if they haven't already). Models and weather apps don't really show any snow at all, but that's because they usually don't see any stray precipitation coming for us.
It's still a chance though. So don't get too excited. It could also be a squall, which is some light rain.
