If you thought Thursday was cold, just you wait. The D.C. region is forecast to get a second blast of winter weather this weekend, with up to 3 inches of snow in the forecast.

WASHINGTON — Snow lovers rejoice! There are two chances to see flakes fly around the DC Metro area this week. We're watching a chance for flurries on Friday. Nothing will accumulate with that round, but we are seeing increasing chances for snow to add up Sunday.

One might say it has been a roller-coaster start to the December weather here in DC, but that would imply that there have been "ups" to the forecast. The reality is, the forecast has been consistent in the D.

Best chance of snow showers looks to be this weekend. Welcome to cwg.live, updated around-the-clock by Capital Weather Gang meteorologists. Happening now: Bone-chilling teens and 20s this morning. Partly sunny skies lift temperatures into the 30s this afternoon.

Clouds increase again on Friday with a few snowflakes possible (especially southwest of D.C.), but many areas stay dry. Temperatures remain unseasonably cool in the upper 30s Friday under mainly cloudy skies. Saturday is the mildest day of the weekend with highs in the mid 40s.

Expect a messy morning out there Friday in the D.C. metro area and areas south as we see this season’s first widespread snowfall.
