The bulk of a midweek storm that is moving toward the East Coast will likely miss the Washington, D.C. region and head out to sea.

"The bulk of the energy here and the bulk of our storm, rather than sliding up the coast and giving the big cities a good snow, will kind of scoot out to sea here, off to our south and east," said FOX 5 Tucker Barnes.
For the D.C. area, this means we are on the northern edge of any significant snow. Barnes noted that while the winter storm will be monitored, its impact on the D.C. area appears minimal at this time. The 'bullseye' of the storm seems to be aimed at the Carolinas and southeast Virginia.
Minimal snow impact expected for Washington, D.C. area
