WASHINGTON — (WMAL) The D.C. metro region will see up to an inch of snow Wednesday night into Thursday morning according to the National Weather Service, bracing residents for what many expect to be a storm to remember this weekend.

“It’s nothing compared to what we’re expecting at the beginning of the weekend,” said meteorologist Ray Martin of the National Weather Service. “But it does look like it could produce some slippery roads.”

Martin says the D.C. area should expect 18-24 inches of snow this weekend, the heaviest of which will come down in the early hours of Saturday morning.

“That would be one of the five largest storms [for D.C.] on record.”

Martin expects the snow to accumulate throughout the day on Saturday and stop by Sunday morning.
