Chance of snow, heavy rain expected Tuesday

Plus: City of Rockville to host International Night, seven teens arrested after shots fired at incident near Sligo Middle School

Montgomery County could get some snow after a heavy rainstorm Tuesday morning.

The National Weather Service predicts that a steady stream of rain on Monday night could change to snow on Tuesday.

“As cold air filters in from the northwest, rain will change over to snow in our northwest zones,” meteorologist Brian van de Graaff told WTOP.

While the D.C. region will likely get some flakes, they’re unlikely to accumulate based on ground temperature conditions.
