The last in a long train of storms will bring snow and ice to the Mid-Atlantic and Carolinas on Wednesday. While Washington will be near the northern edge of the storm starting late in the morning — with a dusting to a half-inch of snow possible in the District and areas to the south by the evening — impacts will be moderate to major farther south.

Winter weather preps are underway across the region, especially in Virginia. That’s because while our immediate area may mostly deal with frigid temperatures this week, other parts of the Commonwealth may not be so lucky.
