Synopsis:
Low pressure will develop along the Virginia coast and move Northeast today. A period of wet snow is likely today. A mix with rain or all rain is likely parts of the region by the coast and over Southern regions. The potential is there for some accumulation from the City and to the North and West mainly on colder surfaces. Roadways are still very warm from the record breaking warmth of Monday and the March sun angle is now getting higher. Also, temperatures will remain above freezing, so all of these factors will contribute to much of the snow accumulating mainly on the grass and car tops. The wet snow and rain will taper off later today into this evening.
Skies will clear overnight with readings remaining just above freezing in the City. Inland temperatures will fall below freezing.
Thursday and Friday will feature high pressure dominating the Northeast. A mix of sun and clouds is expected with seasonal readings.
On Saturday a potent cold front will move toward the East coast. Ahead of the front it will be balmy with a period of rain and wind likely. A close eye will be kept on the backend of the front and developing storm along it for later Saturday. There is a low potential that the rain may change over to a period of snow before ending, this will most likely occur inland. Very strong winds will develop in the wake of the storm later Saturday and Saturday night into Sunday morning. Gusts over 50mph and possible.
Sunday will be bright, windy and cold readings will at least ten degrees below the average high of 48º.
Oh March, how we love thee!
Stay tuned.
Keep it here for a no hype, no nonsense forecast.
