Currently, the area of low pressure is situated near the Tidewater of Virginia. As the low moves slowly eastward today, it will strengthen and winds in our area will shift from easterly to more northerly and colder air will be drawn in. As this happens, the rain and rain/snow mix will turn over to snow and become heavy at times as we move through the afternoon and into tonight.
Currently, a Winter Storm Warning is in effect for Allegany, Frederick, Garrett and Washington counties. A Winter Storm Watch remains in effect for the rest of the state west of the Bay.
Precipitation will overspread the state from west to east this afternoon and evening. In the mountains, it will start as snow, while further east, rain will develop and slowly transition to snow during the overnight.
By tomorrow morning, all areas west of the Bay will have transitioned to snow. Areas around and east of I-95 may mix with rain at times tomorrow morning, but the snow will continue, heavy at times through the day and into tomorrow night. Lower southern Maryland and the Eastern Shore will see more rain and have more mixing, cutting down storm totals. By tomorrow night, even these areas will see a period of all snow before it begins to taper off.
Clouds will increase tomorrow, ahead of an area of low pressure that will move towards our area. Highs tomorrow will be in the low to mid 40s.
Expect light rain or light rain and snow to develop Tuesday evening. As the storm moves to our south, it will intensify and drag colder air into the area. This will change the rain over to snow late Tuesday night. Snow will continue through the day on Wednesday, tapering off Wednesday evening.
The marginal temperatures, combined with a March sun angle will work against accumulations, however with heavy snowfall rates, there is still a potential for a significant amount of accumulation of snow from this storm.
