WASHINGTON — It may not be green for long.
NBC聽Storm Team 4 is keeping an eye on what could be the area’s first big snow event next weekend.
While some snow flurries are expected today through the afternoon, it won’t be聽more than a quick spell. This will be followed by weather alert days for Monday and Tuesday, due to severe cold temperatures.
According to NBC 4聽Meteorologist Matt Ritter, there are no more details about the pending system, but forecasters should have a better idea how big, if at all, by midweek.
“Some computer models are predicting snow, others are predicting rain, and others are predicting no storm at all,” he said in his noon forecast on Sunday, as flurries began to fall gently on the area.
“But we will be watching the trends over the coming days as everything comes into better focus.”
So far the Greater D.C. region has seen none of the white stuff. 聽However, in聽聽November, the weather team predicted more snow than 2015’s winter blast.
鈥淲hat we鈥檙e predicting in the D.C. metro area is above average,鈥� NBC Washington Chief Meteorologist Doug Kammerer told WTOP about this season鈥檚 .
鈥淣ormally we get about 15 inches a year, and we鈥檙e going for 20 to 25 inches of snowfall,鈥� he says.
No doubt area school children are hoping he is right.
