Potent storm to bring plummeting temperatures and snow to D.C. area Saturday.

Some accumulation is a good bet and slick roads are possible in some areas.

* Winter weather advisory for Frederick, Carroll, northwest Montgomery, northwest Howard, northern Fauquier and western Loudoun County 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday *

A powerful cold front and accompanying storm will turn spring back to winter in the Washington region Saturday, with rain changing to a burst of snow in the morning. Conditions will change rapidly throughout the day amid plummeting temperatures and strong, gusty winds.

Anywhere from a coating to a few inches could fall across the area through midafternoon, when the snow should taper off. There is the potential for a heavy burst of snow in the morning. While some snow will melt initially due to air and ground temperatures above freezing, we can’t rule out slushy accumulation, even on the roads if it snows hard enough. >>>
