The DC zone is preparing for another dose of snow this week, because forecastists warn that the region will see several inches of fresh powder on Tuesday.
Residents of the DC region are preparing for another snow cycle, as forecasters warn that the region will see several inches of fresh powder on Tuesday.
The National Weather Service said on Monday that a winter storm warning would be in effect from 1 p.m. Tuesday at 7 a.m. Wednesday, while snow totals could vary between 4 and 8 inches.
The heaviest snowfalls are expected between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. on Tuesday. The authorities predict between 1 and 2 inches of snow can accumulate per hour.
The agency has urged residents of the DC region to be alert and cautious because the road conditions could prove to be dangerous and have an impact on Tuesday evening journeys.
The main meteorologist of 7News, Brian Van de Graaff, said that Wop Snow would develop in a southwest direction in the northeast, with higher snow totals more likely to accumulate across the south.
Temperatures will start the day above frost, but will end up diving in the 1930s, even the 1920s upper Van de Graaff, who noted that the Tuesday morning journey would be completely dry.
DC-Area is preparing for snow
A state of emergency was issued by the governor of Virginia, Glenn Youngkin, who called the Virginians “are preparing for possible impacts on the roads and infrastructures starting at night on Monday throughout Tuesday.”
In the district, the mayor of DC Muriel Bowser announced that the district snow team would be launched, a deployment which includes the activation of more than 200 snow plows to treat the major roads and the streets of the neighborhood. Snow teams are expected to go out in the streets around 8 p.m. Monday to start the pre -treatment.
School closures in progress
While the preparations remain underway before the Big Snow Day, the first closings and delays in schools were announced for students in the DC region.
In Maryland, the first announcements sank public schools from Prince George County and the Riverdale Baptist School private school, both of which end on Tuesday.
In Virginia, public schools in the city of Fredericksburg have announced that the courses would not be in session at all, asking essential staff to contact their supervisors.
