The same storm that brought the D.C. area snow on Sunday and Monday continued to provide flurries on Tuesday, along with biting wind chills.
Through the remainder of Tuesday, we’ll see scattered snow showers and wet snow on grass.
Between hit-and-miss snow showers and stronger winds Tuesday, most roads have been able to dry off before temperatures fall below freezing again overnight. There will be little to no additional accumulation.

Rain showers are looking likely for Friday, mainly during the first half of the day. If the system moves in overnight Thursday, a wintry mix is possible in spots. Temperatures Friday look to warm to near 50, so snow and ice will not be a concern for the D.C. area.

Last Sunday marked the D.C. area's first significant snowfall in two years. The snow began before dawn and blanketed the area.
