I’m sure you’ve heard by now, but our coverage area is under a Winter Weather Advisory for tomorrow. Don’t be surprised if some areas are upgraded to a Winter Storm Warning as the latest models are trending towards the upper end of advisory parameters.
Snow squall approaching the area could bring a burst of light to moderate snowfall. Untreated surfaces could become icy for a period of time. Little accumulation is expected.
A high impact system is set to impact the area today into Wed. Flooding rains, coastal flooding, strong winds, and mountain wintry precipitation are all expected. Conditions deteriorate after dark as a brunt of the storm tracks from I-95 toward the Bay. #MDwx#VAwx#DCwx#WVwx
Tropical Storm Ophelia continues to gain strength prior to landfall. Our area can expect periods of heavy rain and gusty winds this weekend. If it continues to strengthen, don’t be surprised if tropical storm watches/warnings are extended up the bay.
The NWS SPC has issued a Tornado Watch for the entire region until 9PM tonight. Continue to monitor the NWS and local news outlets for updates.
