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.

Mostly Sunny but Cold Today; Wintry Mix this Weekend?
