A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 10 PM EST

Aided by cold northwest winds blowing across the Great Lakes...
snow showers will become more numerous over the Potomac Highlands
this evening and continuing through Friday. For tonight... new
snowfall accumulations of 1 or 2 inches are expected. By Friday
evening... total snowfall accumulations of 2 to 5 inches are expected
