Now meteorologists at NBC4 are calling for some wet snow overnight in some parts but no expected accumulations except in the Blue Ridge region.

No severe storms today but we will have some rain by the evening hours, maybe even wet snow north and west of Washington tonight but NO accumulation for most, more on News 4 Midday now. Look at how much cooler we are than this time yesterday: pic.twitter.com/52RDM7JSex

No. No! A thousand time, no! The DC area was 80 degrees on Monday afternoon with flooding rain and severe thunderstorms. Now, for the highest elevations of the Blue Ridge, there is a Winter Weather Advisory and 1-3" of SNOW possible. This is so 2020! pic.twitter.com/UcGXjarWZc
