And temperatures until the mid 50s right now. 45 in york. 55 in easton. It is a mild pattern. Thats going to have an impact as we look at the set up and this next approaching weather maker. Winds are picking up ahead of this boundary. It will bring rain showers this evening e and will bring the wind and chill in over the weekend. You can make it out here on the regional perspective. You have a line f of rain and snow line of rain and snow back across western virginia, and again, the showers will precede the cold air, so after a day in the 50s out there, were looking at rain showers initially and even as we push toward midnight and mixed showers, the ground temps will be above freezing, well get a coating, a light slushy coat eking coating on grassy areas. And Early Saturday Morning cold and a break in action. And the secondary storm for the weekend will approach saturday afternoon. Well start saturday morning, watch what happens as we work into saturday morning. You see the coastal storm beginning to make its way up the coast and some showers look like they could spin into the Eastern Shore of maryland. Perhaps a little more saturday afternoon but it looks like the bulk of the storm is is going to stay offshore and whatever snow we do see will be primarily east of the chesapeake, this will be more of a coastal type efferent i think. And sunday looking partly cloudy and much colder. Speaking of that. Look at the temperatures down in the 20s by tomorrow night and then as we go into saturday afternoon, were into the mid 30s and by early sunday morning, these temperatures are going to be back down in the mid20s. So you get the idea, the chill returning, the pleasant mild weather today, thats gone for the weekend, even if we dont get ha much in the way that much in the way of wintry showers, well see the cold air and the wind because as the coastal system forms, youll have a pressure differential, and thats going to be a blustery sunday around here. So overnight tonight, perhaps a light wintry mix late overnight. Thats pretty likely with the front moving through. Rain and mixed showers, and then we bring in late day snow showers from annapolis east ward over the Eastern Shore and that ends tomorrow night. Were down to the low 20s and that begins the coldest half of the weekend which will be sunday, temperatures can never really get out of the mid30s. So even with the sunshine, maybe a chilly windy day for the second half of the weekend. Even though we get the spring teaser type days like today in february, its not really done with us yet. In fact we can see a brief period of freezing rain tuesday morning, so february you still get it all. A lot to keep an eyen o.
