Snow is possible in D.C. area on Super Bowl Sunday.

Light to moderate snow could fall in the D.C. area on Super Bowl Sunday. However, it’s still not clear whether it will snow hard enough or be cold enough for it to amount to much and have serious effects on the region.

As in two previous storms this winter, one which produced substantial snowfall in early January and another which ended up mostly as rain later in the month, the snow is forecast immediately following very mild weather. On Saturday afternoon, less than 12 hours before the anticipated snowfall, temperatures are predicted to soar to around 60 degrees.

But a strong cold front coming in Saturday night will quickly drop temperatures and then a wave of low pressure forming along the front will become the focus of a possible area of snowfall.

Right now, this seems like the type of winter weather event that produces a dusting to a couple of inches, but less or more can’t be ruled out.
