Somebody resuscitated that puppy. Never say never to mother nature. Thats the first rule you should know about forecasting. Two weeks ago we had a slushy wet snow mainly on the grass and i think thats what were up against this weekend. Not terribly impactful because of the timing of it all and the fact that its been so warm the last couple weeks, the ground is just simply not frozen solid and as a result, much of the snow will melt on contact particularly on paved surfaces. So what to expect saturday night into sunday, starting out as a cold rain saturday afternoon and evening. And then wet snow from the d. C. Area points north and west. Winchester, martinsburg. Roads likely to be more slushy than icy because temperatures are not really going to be cold enough to support freezing everything solid. It will be cold enough to snow, it just wont be cold enough to breeze it down on to the ground. Here atmosphere bringing us our snow chances. That is the moisture and cold air that will be coming in our direction. And most of the snow will come down in temperatures around 34 to 37 degrees. Again, cold enough to snow, just not cold enough to stick to the roads. Temperatures this th s this fin 54 in annapolis. And a cold start this morning becomes a sunny and breezy and mild afternoon.

And then shear tomorrow afternoon 2 00, rain showers moving into the metro area after 7 00 when the sun goes down, notice the pink and blue, that is a sustained period of wet snow across northWest Virginia, eastern West Virginia and Northern Maryland. How much snow . Here is my first guess at it. A coating to maybe an inch or potentially a little over an inch righo winners, hagerstown out to the shenandoah valley, 2 to maybe 4 inches of snow. Again mostly on the grass. Roads could be slushy. So 60s today, rain snow mix saturday night into sunday. Staying chilly early next week, but 74 next thursday. Ill look forward to next thursday.
