The National Weather Service now expects light precipitation only.
Updated, 4:47 p.m.: The National Weather Service has downgraded its hazardous weather outlook, stating they only believe there will be light snowfall without any accumulation.

There may be precipitation on Sunday, but probably not the stuff of holiday cards.
If you've been dreaming of a white Christmas this year, it's our sad duty to report that the odds don't look good for Prince George's County. As of Thursday afternoon, the National Weather Service was predicting a 20 percent chance of Christmas Day precip in the Riverdale Park-University Park area — but in the form of raindrops rather than snowflakes. The forecast calls for a slight chance of showers after 10 a.m. Sunday with a daytime high near 48° F. Temperatures are expected to hover just above freezing both Saturday and Sunday nights. The silver lining? Daytime temps are expected to remain mild next week, with a high of 50° F possible on Thursday.
