Update - just finished a meeting with the team. If the weather is consistent with what is being forecast, we expect a closure for our federal offices in the area for Monday. We are getting together throughout the weekend and will keep you updated. The official decision - this is not it - will be posted on the @USOPM website. Our goal is to call it as early as we can assuming the system develops as forecast.
