The NWS Baltimore-Washington Twitter account posted the following today:

A protracted winter storm will move into the region late Wednesday and persist into Friday. Significant snow is possible. For those locations most likely to see heavy snow Wednesday night, a Winter Storm Watch is now in effect. Watches may be expanded east as confidence increases

I would keep an eye throughout the week as the predictions could change.
