Snow Odds Increase For Reston: Report

RESTON, VA -- Will we or won't we get snow? That's been the question for the last few days as weather models have gone back and forth on how big of a chance we have of getting the white stuff -- and a new one suggests that light snow is a strong possibility Saturday morning.

Mike Thomas, a meteorologist with Fox 5, tweeted Thursday afternoon that the new European model is "at least on board with a period of light snow in DC on Saturday morning," so the "odds of first snow in DC & east are going up."

However, temperatures are a bit high for accumulation, especially with the ground still warm. And, of course, the weather forecast could change in a couple days. But as of now, flakes are looking like a pretty strong possibility.

Temperatures are expected to dip to a high in the 40s with lows in the low 30s on Friday, according to Weather.com, and the low should get below freezing on Saturday -- however, daytime temps will be well above that in the low 40s. Sunday will be positively frigid, and things will warm up slightly on Monday.

Snow looks light and I’m skeptical of accumulations with warm ground temps. More updates later.❄️ pic.twitter.com/bScqS4aEUO
