One Storm Leaves, Another Takes Aim

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.

Windy and Cold Weekend

Today is the first day of winter and it will certainly feel like it!

The cold front that brought heavy rain and wind to the area last night has pushed off the coast and colder air is beginning to filter into the region.

Winds will increase through the day today as the storm intensifies to our north. Highs today were reached at 2:40 this morning and will continue to drop through the day, into the 30s this evening.

Winds will gust to around 30mph this afternoon, making it feel even colder. There may be a sprinkle or flurry this afternoon as well.

In far western Maryland, snow will continue to fall and combine with the strong winds to produce blizzard conditions at times through tomorrow.
