Northern suburbs and northwestern suburbs stand the greatest chance of getting maybe 1 to 2 inches of snow.

In Virginia, Albemarle, Arlington, Falls Church, Alexandria, Culpeper, Loudoun, Fairfax and Prince William are under the advisory from 7 p.m. Sunday until 10 a.m. Monday.

King George, Spotsylvania and Stafford from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m.

In Maryland, Anne Arundel, Charles, Allegany, Howard, Montgomery, Frederick, Baltimore, Harford, Prince George's and Washington Counties are under the advisory from 7 p.m. Sunday until 10 a.m. Monday.

Snow, sleet and freezing rain is expected, accumulations of up to 2 inches of snow, and less than a tenth of an inch of ice is possible.

DC will see light snow switching over to a mixture of sleet and rain Monday morning.

The greatest impact from the storm will be north along Interstate 70 and the northern Maryland counties.

A little glaze of ice is possible by late Monday afternoon into the evening north of DC Metro area.

The District may get a little trace amount of snow accumulating but it'll all get washed away as we switch over to rain Monday morning. South of DC, it looks like a brief mix then all rain by early Monday morning.

What's very important here the temperatures shouldn't be down to freezing, except for the northern suburbs. Even though we won't be down to freezing in DC, a little sleet on the roads could still cause some slippery spots overnight and early Monday morning.
