Light wintry mix to rain possible, mainly east; Introducing new forecast zones

A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY is in effect for Calvert, Charles, and St. Mary’s counties until noon.

An area of low pressure is moving northeastward off the Carolina coast. The storm will stay well to our south but the northern fringe may spread some light precipitation into the southern and eastern portions of the state.

At the onset, it will be cold enough for any precip that falls to fall in the form of sleet or freezing rain. Temperatures will climb above freezing later this morning, turning any remaining precip over to plain rain. Light showers may persist through the afternoon and into tonight.

Highs today will be around 40 under cloudy skies.

High pressure builds in tomorrow, leading to a pleasant day, with partly sunny skies and highs in the mid 50s.
