Super Bowl is predicted to begin Sunday in the DC area with a winter storm that could dump 3-5 inches of heavy, wet snow.
The fast-moving snowstorm is expected to arrive overnight in DC, Maryland and Northern Virginia – and be out before it’s time to make your nachos, says Storm Team4 meteorologist Lauryn Ricketts.

“If you’re on your way to the Super Bowl, no snow will fall, but it’s definitely going to be slippery,” Ricketts said.
A winter storm warning will take effect for the Washington, DC area from 3 a.m. to Sunday, the National Weather Service said.
“Travel can be very difficult,” the NWS warned.
A winter weather advice will be in effect for some Virginia counties far north and west and Calvert and St. Louis. Mary’s in Maryland. Here is a complete list of weather warnings.
Finish your assignments on Saturday when it is dry and windy with temperatures rising to almost 50 °.
The sky will become overcast with light snowfall during the noon and in the middle of freezing temperatures it will be 3 hours. By the time you wake up, roads and sidewalks may have some ice and be covered.
The Interstate 95 corridor is in line for some of the heaviest snow totals.
Far to the south of Maryland is a question mark, but Ricketts said an upgrade to a winter storm warning is possible.
After the 12-hour snowstorm, the storm will move out and you may melt a little during the afternoon when the temperature warms up.
After this snowstorm, winter is definitely not over for us. Monday it will be bitterly cold, but it is only in the low to mid 30s, but with lots of sunshine. By Tuesday, temperatures are climbing into the mid-1940s, but Storm Team4 is watching another light winter mix.
Snow Timing and totals for DC, Maryland and Virginia
Generally, Storm Team4 expects 3 to 5 inches of snowfall along the I-95 corridor from Frederick County, Maryland, to Spotsylvania County, Virginia. There is evidence of locally higher amounts in a line just south and east of DC
By 3 p.m., the DC and subway should see Maryland and Virginia snow. Far to the southeast of Maryland, a little rain-snow mix could begin.
Snow will continue to fall through the morning hours, sometimes moderate or heavy.
Heavy, wet snow will still accumulate in the morning, with the heaviest snow between 6 and 10 p.m.
Snowfall could hit an inch per hour on Sunday morning, reducing visibility, the National Weather Service said.
Before lunch and until early in the afternoon, the temperature will rise into the upper thirties, and snow showers may mix with a little rain. It can melt away some of the winter wonderlands and cause slippery roads.
By 15:00 the DC area will dry out as the temperature approaches 40 ° in the late afternoon. The national weather service says that places up to 6 centimeters are possible.
Dozens of cars, including two Iowa State Patrol cars, crashed into a pile on an icy interstate outside Des Moines, Iowa, on Thursday.
Once the winter storm comes out of the Mid-Atlantic, the evening will be dry.
There will be some slippery spots, so be very careful when meeting with your pandemic pod to see how the Kansas City Chiefs face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Super Bowl.
