Windy and warm Thursday

We started out today with a low temperature of 54 degrees, which is 3 degrees warmer than the average high for this time of year and will end up today about 20 degrees above normal. Strong southerly winds courtesy of a high pressure area off the coast will continue to bring in warmer air ahead of a cold front that will move through overnight. Highs will be a few degrees warmer than yesterday, eclipsing 70 in most spots while winds gust to around 35mph.

Showers, a rumble of thunder and windy

A warm front currently just to our south will move northward, allowing warm moist air to overspread the state. Highs today will be warmer than yesterday, approaching the mid 70s across central Maryland.

This will set the stage for a round of showers and possibly a few thunderstorms this afternoon as a cold front approaches from the west. Any storms that develop could produce damaging winds and small hail.

Remember, the KLWX radar is down for maintenance, so please use the Regional Radar and the TBWI Radar to track the progress of the showers and storms today.

Sunny today, winds increasing

Today will be the warmest day of the week, possibly the month and the year. On February 1, we hit 68 degrees and we will approach that today with highs in the upper 60s. The pressure gradient between the high off the coast and a strengthening low over the midwest will increase winds today as well. Gusts as high as 25 are possible this afternoon.

Light rain/snow tonight and tomorrow

A cold front will approach the state tonight, while a low pressure system currently over the south interacts with the front and redevelops off the south east coast. The low will track northeast, off the coast but will be close enough to bring light rain and snow to the area tonight and tomorrow. Expect light rain to develop across the state tonight, transitioning to snow from west to east as the night progresses. The rain/snow will continue through the day tomorrow, before ending tomorrow evening. An inch or two of snow is possible in the mountains, elsewhere, little to no accumulation is expected.

Heavy downpours this morning

Rounds of showers with heavy downpours and gusty winds continue to move through the area this morning ahead of a cold front. A warm front is draped across the state, with temperatures in the mid 50s to low 60s south of the front, and mid to upper 40s north of it.

The cold front is expected to cross the state later this morning, bringing an end to the rain by this afternoon. Temperatures will also begin to tumble behind the front as northwest winds increase and become gusty.

Rain tonight, falling temps tomorrow

A low pressure system currently over Arkansas and Tennessee will continue its trek to the northeast. In doing so, it will bring a warm front through the area tonight, causing temperatures to rise into the 50s. The warmth will be short lived, as the system will then drag a cold front through tomorrow morning. Rain associated with the front is expected tonight and tomorrow morning. Total rainfall of up to a half inch is expected statewide.
