Chilly, cloudy and dry Monday as winter threat passes south of DC region

WASHINGTON - Snow lovers will have to wait a bit longer for their wish to come true. The storm system that we've been keeping an eye on for early this week will not impact our region after all.

FOX 5 Weather forecast for Monday, January 11

Mike Thomas has the FOX 5 Weather forecast for Monday, January 11.

FOX 5's Gwen Tolbart says the updated European Model has the system exiting the coast well south of the D.C. region. There is a very slight chance of some precipitation across lower southern Maryland and central Virginia -- but it would be minimal if it happens at all.

The latest American Model has Tuesday's storm system still bringing some snow/mix over the mountains but remaining dry elsewhere. Don't expect any sunshine Monday as the system will bring plenty of clouds to our region.

Later in the week a cold front will bring us some brisk, cold air over the weekend and possibly snow showers to the mountain areas.
