Areas of sleet and freezing rain will continue to change to plain rain as we move through this morning. Temperatures across Central Maryland are around freezing at this time and will continue to rise. North and west of the cities, temperatures are a bit colder and will take a little longer to warm up.

All areas east of the mountains should be safely above freezing by noon.

Shower chances will continue this afternoon and into tonight.

Tomorrow we will be between storm systems as a warm front slowly pushes north of the state. Temperatures will warm into the low 50s under partly sunny skies.

A strong cold front will approach on Wednesday. Out ahead of it, temperatures will approach 60 degrees in most areas. The front will bring rain and even thunderstorms to the area Wednesday into Wednesday night. Some of the storms could be strong to severe, with damaging winds the main threat.

As yesterday’s storm pushes northeastward and away from the area, another is taking shape over the Rockies and will move into the area by Saturday morning.

Behind the storm that brought snow, sleet, freezing rain and a lot of plain rain (storm total of 1.31″ here) to the region, skies will gradually clear as northwest winds gust to near 50mph today. A Wind Advisory is in effect until 6pm.

Winds will decrease tonight as weak high pressure builds in tomorrow, providing a calm and tranquil day. Highs will be in the low to mid 40s.

Precipitation will push into the area early Saturday morning. The models are in agreement that the initial precipitation will fall in the form of snow. The models disagree however, on if it will remain snow and how much will fall.
