More winter weather to come

If you weren’t sick enough of the cold and snow already – be prepared for more.

According to the National Weather Service, the Northern Virginia area will stay in the single digit temperatures throughout tonight.

And on Saturday, a system is expected to move through the area, with snow and ice accumulation over three inches projected in some areas. 

VDOT has already announced they are still plowing secondary areas from this week’s storm, and advised motorists to check conditions before getting on the road.

Potomac Local will continue to monitor the weather and provide you with all of the updates on closings, delays and outages.
