How quickly a storm strengthens and subsequently how close to the coast the storm tracks will determine the exact amount of snow and extent of slippery conditions in the Washington, D.C., area from Sunday to Sunday night. At this point, the most likely accumulation is 1-3 inches, factoring in that some of the snow will melt on area streets and highways, with rain for the first part of the storm. If the storm is stronger and tracks a bit farther west, much heavier snow may fall. Should the storm shift farther to the east, accumulations may be generally light in the region.
