A new fast-moving storm could bring upwards of three inches of snow to some areas, AccuWeather officials said, with a wintry mix possible as far south as Richmond, though it is expected to pass quickly.

A winter storm watch has also already been put in effect for the Allegheny/Potomac Highlands and the northern Blue Ridge for late Friday into Saturday.

Upwards of eight inches of snow is possible in the mountains, according to the National Weather Service, though southern Maryland and Virginia can expect more of a dusting, with less than two inches accumulating.

"Accumulating snow is likely Friday night into Saturday morning for most of the area, which may result in travel disruptions," forecasters warned on Thursday. "Another system will move quickly across the area Friday night, bringing snow to most, if not all of the region."

Saturday is expected to warm up slightly, with the sun shining, though the weather is likely to be blustery.
