News 4 reports that After a winter of little more than flurries, we could end up with a March snowstorm this week. A winter storm watch goes into effect for the region Tuesday evening and will continue for about 24 hours. The District and its surrounding counties, as well as a big chunk of Virginia, Maryland and even  W.V., could see accumulations of five inches or more. The highest snow totals are expected west of the region. However, more accurate predictions will come as we get closer to the event, said StormTeam 4 Meteorologist Tom Kierein. The storm will begin as rain Tuesday, changing into snow after midnight in some areas. By dawn Wednesday, the entire region should be seeing snow, which will continue to fall throughout the day and possibly through dawn Thursday. Temperatures will be in the low or mid 30s. The heavy, wet snow could lead to power outages, the National Weather Service warns. If we get it, this storm would be the biggest we’ve had all winter. Only an inch and a half total has been measured at Reagan National Airport the the entire season, Kierein said.
