STERLING, VA—The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for Northern Virginia from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Sunday. Snow, sleet and freezing rain of up to a half inch are expected, according to the NWS outlet in Sterling.
It's part of a system that the Weather Channel says will greet much of the northeastern part of the country on Super Bowl Sunday. Northern Virginia forecasts have the snow and sleet changing to rain by late Sunday afternoon. If you're driving, visibility will be reduced to less than two miles at times because of precipitation and fog.
After this, the next chance of snow is Wednesday night. Here's the latest forecast from the National Weather Service:
