Conditions are shaping up for the D.C. area’s first notable snowfall of 2025 on Sunday night, with a chance the region could see several inches going into Monday morning.

“We have a good opportunity to see at least 3 inches of snow, if not more,” 7News First Alert Meteorologist Eileen Whelan said.

There will be mostly sunny skies and light winds Sunday, with temperatures hovering around 32 degrees. Clouds will arrive later in the evening, teeing up for snow chances.

“The cold air will be in place and the moisture will be there as well,” Whelan said, adding additional snow days could be possible.

1. Have the bread-and-milk panic lines...

...started forming at the grocery stores yet?

We lived just outside of DC near Andrews AFB for 8 years, during my husband's last Air Force assignment. The 4 years before that were spent in the upper peninsula of Michigan.

The contrast could not have been more extreme. In the UP, our area averaged 220 inches of snow per winter season, and people laugh at snow. The blades on the snowplows must be at least 12 feet tall. In DC and surrounding areas, people freak out if snow is even forecast, let alone if it actually falls.

A predicted ten inches of snow Saturday and Sunday and temperatures below freezing through next week. Our forecasts kinda change a lot but that’s what we’re looking at now.
