Scattered Showers into the Afternoon

The main area of rainfall that brought nearly a half inch of rain overnight continues to push out of the area, leaving isolated to scattered showers behind it.

A cold front will cross the area this afternoon, bringing an end to the rain chances while increasing winds. Highs today will top out in the low 50s.

High pressure controls the weather tomorrow, delivering a mostly sunny day. Highs will be around 50.

Another area of low pressure will move towards the mid-atlantic Tuesday night into Wednesday. This system will bring precipitation to the area Wednesday and Wednesday night. While we’ll be on the colder/northern side of the low, the cold air will be marginal.

Rain Today, Possibly Ending as Snow Tonight

An area of low pressure continues to develop into a powerful Nor’Easter off the Carolina coast. As it moves northeast, it will continue to spread rain, sleet and snow over our area and will bring heavy snow and blizzard conditions to New England.

A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect for counties north and west of I-95. These areas will gradually transition to rain today as highs top out around 40 degrees.

As the storm moves northeast and phases with a secondary low currently over Ohio, it will strengthen rapidly and as it does, colder air will be pulled into our area, possibly changing the rain to snow before ending tonight.

Accumulations of up to an inch are possible, especially over northeast Maryland. Additionally, winds will increase tonight and will gust to near 40mph at times.

Partly Sunny Today; Rainy Friday

An area of low pressure currently over the deep south will combine with energy diving out of Canada to form a strong Nor’Easter. The storm is expected to bring blizzard conditions and possibly historic snows to New England.

The phasing of these systems will occur too late for our area to see any significant precipitation and warmer air will ensure that most if not all that falls will be in the form of rain.

Clouds will continue to overspread the area ahead of the system today. Highs will be in the upper 30s to around 40.

Precipitation will move into the region tonight, possibly beginning as a rain/snow/sleet mix before changing over to plain rain by morning. Rain will continue tomorrow, into tomorrow night, possibly ending as light snow showers. Highs will be in the mid 40s. Winds will increase through the day, possibly gusting to near 40 by tomorrow night.
