If it seems too soon in the season for snow in the D.C. region, think again because it could be on its way.

Thursday night a surge of cold air will bring temperatures down to just the upper 10s and lower 20s — low enough to set the stage for an expected accumulation of snow Friday.

A low-pressure system will arrive in the mid-Atlantic after it moves across North Carolina and southern Virginia, making it cold enough for any drizzle or rain to fall as snow, according to 7News First Alert meteorologists.

This system brings the potential for a dusting of snow up to about 1 inch in D.C.

Slightly higher snowfall is expected in areas south and east of the District. Around 2 inches of snowfall is forecast from Culpeper, Virginia, to Waldorf, Maryland.
