What to expect with snow, wind as cold front hits D.C. Thursday morning.

A cold front sweeping through the D.C. area is forecast to bring gusty winds, falling temperatures and maybe a burst of snow, though accumulation isn’t expected inside the Beltway.

The D.C. area will awaken to some wild weather Thursday as a strong cold front sweeps through. It could bring a quick burst of snow or rain, a surge of winds and then falling temperatures.

Snow accumulation is not expected inside the Beltway or to the south and east. But a quick dusting is possible in the hillier areas to the north and west, especially in northern Montgomery County, western Howard County, western Loudoun County, and to the north and west.
