Very Cold and Windy Today; Warmer Tomorrow

Very cold air pushed into the region last night on gusty northwest winds. Those winds will continue to gust today and temperatures will only warm into the low to mid teens for highs this afternoon.

The good news is that this bitter cold will be short lived. Lows tonight will drop back down into the single digits but will rebound into the mid to upper 20s tomorrow afternoon under mostly sunny skies.

The warming trend continues on Thursday as highs push into the mid 30s.

Rain changing to Snow this Evening; Very Cold tomorrow

A storm system is still on track to bring precipitation to the area this evening into tomorrow. The precip will start as rain or a rain/snow mix this evening then change to snow tonight.

Generally, 1-3″ are likely across central and southern Maryland while 2-4″ are likely across northern Maryland. A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for that area.

The storm will strengthen rapidly as it pulls north of the area tonight into tomorrow. Winds will pick up, gusting to around 30mph as colder air is pulled into the area. Highs tomorrow will only be in the upper teens to around 20.

Temperatures will warm this weekend as southerly flow develops. Saturday will be mostly sunny with highs in the low to mid 30s.

Light Snow Likely Tomorrow Night into Friday

A complicated setup will bring light snow to the area tomorrow evening into Friday morning.

A northern stream of energy currently over the midwest is sliding south and east towards the coast while a storm system is developing along the Gulf coast. These two pieces of energy will combine to form one low off the mid-atlantic coast. The combined storm will intensify as it moves northeastward and will likely bring blizzard-like conditions to areas of the northeast.

Here in Maryland, the storms will combine too far north to bring significant snowfall to the state. Current trends favor a light snowfall in the order of 1-3 or 2-4 inches with highest amounts in the northeast portion of the state.

Rain Today; Chance of Snow Showers Tomorrow

A conveyor belt of moisture originating in the tropical Pacific continues to slide up the coast ahead of a cold front. Expect periods of rain through late afternoon today. Temperatures will continue to drop through the day, falling into the 40s by evening.

The front clears the area tonight, bringing an end to the rain and allowing colder air to filter in. Meanwhile, a potent upper level system will swing through tomorrow bringing the possibility of snow squalls during the afternoon, mainly across the mountains. Brief isolated snow showers could make it into Central Maryland, with little to no accumulation expected. Temperatures will be above freezing (mid to upper 30s) so any accumulation will quickly melt.

Sunny and Cool Today; Warmer into the Weekend

High pressure builds into the region today providing ample sunshine but continued cold temperatures. Highs today will be in the mid to upper 30s.

The high pushes off the coast tomorrow allowing southerly flow to develop. This will usher in warmer air up the eastern seaboard. Expect mostly sunny skies and highs in the mid to upper 40s tomorrow.

Temperatures will continue to warm Friday as a cold front stalls out to our northwest. Highs on Friday will push into the mid 50s under partly sunny skies.
