* Winter weather advisory around the District and points east to south late Friday afternoon into Saturday morning *

11:05 p.m. — New data supports higher snowfall totals around D.C.

Evening computer models have bumped up snowfall totals in the immediate area and now suggest 1 to 3 inches may be more likely than a coating to 2 inches. Of particular note, they suggest we may have a period of steadier snow around the Friday evening commute as temperatures fall back toward freezing. This could mean slick roads.
