DC weather: Light snow, freezing rain possible this week as temperatures drop

Winter weather possible in DC this week

Snow and freezing rain could kick off the week after a stretch of mild weather for the DC area.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - This weekend may have felt like spring, but the winter weather isn't done just yet for the DC area.

What we know:

A cold front will bring a chilly breeze throughout the Washington, D.C., region with wind gusts up to 25 mph on Sunday.

Temperatures will continue to drop on Monday with a chance of light snow late morning into the early afternoon. However, no accumulation is expected.

The snow could change into a wintry, icy mix Monday night into early Tuesday morning, switching over to rain by the Tuesday morning commute.

FOX 5's Gwen Tolbart says any local impact would come from a light glaze of freezing rain, especially in the higher elevations.

What we don't know:

The National Weather Service says there are still some questions about how far east or north the system will track, leaving some uncertainties as to where and what happens.

What's next:

A warming trend begins mid-week as temperatures rise from the 60s to the 70s by Saturday with a chance of rain Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
