And just like that, the winter storm that could have dumped two to four inches of snow on the area seemed to fizzle.
A winter storm warning in place for Prince William, Greater Manassas, and much of the Washington metro area was replaced by a winter weather advisory. The revised forecast called for one to three inches of snow.
A winter storm warning will be in effect for Prince William, Fairfax, Loudoun counties, as well as the cities of Manassas, Manassas Park, and Washington, D.C. from 2 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday. It replaces the winter weather advisory that was slated to go into effect during the same time frame.
A winter weather advisory remains unchanged for Stafford County and points south, as it will go into effect at 3 a.m. and last until 2 p.m. Tuesday.
NOVEC customers in Prince William and Stafford counties have been without power following the overnight storm after a tree fell on large transmission line.
Here’s more in a press release:
