The National Weather Service (NWS) issued a Winter Storm Watch for Montgomery County on Wednesday. The alert was issued for parts of Maryland and Virginia. Late Monday night, Capital Weather Gang (CWG) put out an updated snow/sleet forecast for Wednesday. According to the map, parts of our county could see up to 10 inches of snow/sleet. CWG indicated the forecast is made with medium confidence.

11:55p Monday: We have nudged down predicted snowfall amounts for Wednesday's storm slightly as models suggest a little more mild air will be drawn into the DC region. Additional refinements may be needed tomorrow. Very tough forecast.
