WASHINGTON —听Isn鈥檛 winter over yet?
The unseasonably cold Saturday brought a mix of snow, sleet and hail to the D.C. area.听The cold temperatures, gusty winds and a few snowflakes will continue throughout the afternoon.
The Washington Nationals have postponed today’s听home game against the Miami Marlins. The game is rescheduled as part of a split doubleheader on Saturday, May 14 at 4:05 p.m.
The team says all tickets for today’s game will be honored.
The National Cherry Blossom Festival announced听the听Southwest Waterfront Fireworks Festival is canceled due to wind and weather. 听There is no scheduled rain date.
It鈥檚 not a great day to be outside, unless you are taking pictures of the April snow showers falling in parts of our area today.
鈥淭his is a pretty wild weather pattern for the second weekend of April,鈥� says NBC4 Meteorologist Steve Prinzivalli. 鈥淚t鈥檚 cold enough that we are seeing a mixed bag of some wet snow, especially north and west of town.鈥�
There鈥檚 even some graupel falling. 鈥淚t鈥檚 kind of like a soft hail that hits your car and gently pings off,鈥� Prinzivalli says.
Big snowflakes here in Calvert County. Batman is in play mode
