A Wintry Mix to Greet the First Day of Spring
Colder with Rain and Snow Likely Tomorrow into Sunday
Spring Unofficially Arrives this Week!
Slight Chance of Rain/Snow Showers Saturday Night into Sunday, then Spring!
Mostly Sunny and Breezy
Spring began at 7:02 this morning, but today will feel more winter-like. While we will see abundant sunshine, northwest winds gusting to near 20mph will keep a bite in the air. Highs will be around 50 degrees.
An upper level disturbance will push through tonight, bringing a slight chance of flurries or snow showers into tomorrow. An inch or two is possible in far western Maryland, elsewhere no accumulation is expected. Winds will continue to gust tomorrow, into the 25mph range. Highs will be in the low 40s.
Behind that system, high pressure builds back in for the end of the week and most of the weekend. Friday through Sunday will see highs in the mid to upper 40s under partly sunny skies.
Slight Chance of a Shower this Morning
One cold front has pushed off the coast, taking most of the rainfall with it. An isolated shower or two is possible this morning before a second cold front pushes through, bringing an end to the rain threat and increasing winds. Skies will begin to clear later this morning, into this afternoon. Highs will be in the mid 50s.
Spring begins at 7:02am tomorrow. Clouds will increase again through the day as a weak area of low pressure approaches. It will be windy and cool, with a high around 50.
Weak low pressure scoots by to our south tomorrow night into Thursday morning, bringing a slight chance of showers or flurries. Highs Thursday will only be in the low to mid 40s under clearing skies.
Chance of showers today, another nice stretch ahead
The general pattern that we have been in will continue this week. High pressure off the Carolina coast will keep temperatures mild and rain chances to a minimum.
Today will be partly sunny with a slight chance of showers and possibly a thunderstorm this afternoon and evening. Highs will be in the mid to upper 60s.
