3/6 DC/MD/VA Weather Outlook

The system Tomorrow Night will have rain changing to snow. There is some potential for more snow than forecasted, but just a chance. Hard to determine which wave in the pattern may be a big storm. Right now this Friday/Saturday looks the best for this, but Wednesday Night may still hold some possibilities. As noted yesterday, the pattern is hard as each system has a possibility to be more potent than what is forecasted.

Summary:

Sorry I missed the potential of yesterday for some! Charlottesville had nearly 2 inches and multiple places had a dusting to 1 inch. Today, the milder conditions will show up and tomorrow many places will be in the 60s to near 70! A strong front will cross the area, drop the temperatures, and turn the rain to snow across areas. There is the chance that a harder snow may fall for a while as the system takes on a negative tilt, but this will just be something to watch. Colder temperatures will be the rule th rest of the week. A chance that a system may be close enough for snow/rain to be at least a threat. A bigger system will approach the region Thursday Night and or Friday and may affect us through Saturday! As I said, this pattern is difficult, but very easily could yield a big winter storm!

Today: SW: 50-60 SE: 50-60 N: 45-55

Pretty nice day with close to climatological norms on temperatures

Monday: SW: 65-75 SE: 65-75 N: 55-65

Very nice day with warmer temperatures. Increasing clouds with a chance of rain that night.

Tuesday: SW: 45-55 SE: 45-55 N: 40-50 (temps could fall)

Rain possibly changing to snow especially in the north.

Wednesday: SW: 40-50 SE: 40-50 N: 35-45

Cool with partly cloudy skies. Some increase in clouds late in the day possible

Thursday: SW: 35-45 SE: 35-45 N: 30-40

Rain, Snow, and a mix possible. This will be watched. Some models say there will be nothing

Friday: SW: 30-40 SE: 30-40 N: 25-35

Possible bigger storm will affect the region and may cause rain or snow.

Long Term:

The winter storm should end Saturday. There is a chance that by Wednesday of the following week, spring will come and temps warm nicely!

All for now!
