Cold and Rainy- Mild and rainy to come!

The snow chance for anyone out of the higher elevations has really subsided. We look raw and cold the next several days with rain a good bet. Today, rain with possibly some snow or sleet at onset and highs upper 30s  for the north with just cold and rain with highs in the mid to upper 40s south. In NC there may be some thunderstorms as well. Rain will taper off this evening. Tonight and tomorrow continue cool/cold with drizzle. More cold rain for Tomorrow night into Friday. Higher elevations may still see some snow, but rain is going to be the main event.

More later on the milder temps, but unsettled wetness into next week.

All for now!

Sun then clouds, rain, cool, and snow?!

We have an easy forecast today with sunny skies temps should top out
in the low 50s north and lower 60s in NC. Clouds will increase
overnight and bring Precip tomorrow! This could be some light snow in
the higher elevations and even a rain/snow mix of i-95 and west from
Frefericksburg north to Baltimore. This looks like a light event so
only the highest elevations should see real accumulations from this
and I would think 1 to 3" would be about it.

I am going to forego a later week specific forecast as I will be
wrong. As of now the mountain areas of VA, NC, MD and then a good part
of PA could get a good sized snow storm. It is *POSSIBLE* that snow
may make it into the immediate Piedmont and even a little further east
in far Northern VA and MD. This may be a very close call for i-95 and
west for MD and North VA but I would count on rain now and check back.

All for now.

Snow will wind down this morning!

Snow was sparse due to the very dry air mass.  A few bands of heavier snow did occur along the MD lower southern shore. I am tracking totals at http://forum.midatlanticweather.com

Today we should clear some and most snow will melt. SW VA may again see a round of some snow and mix overnight.

I will update later today!

All for now!
 

Snow thoughts for tonight into tomorrow

Central VA South of DC and Just north of Richmond VA

Should see a mix of rain and snow this evening. Higher elevations could see up to an inch.

Do not be surprised to see some flakes early tonight.

All for now!

Jimmy

Where will the snow fly?

INITIAL THOUGHTs!
Tomorrow night snow will be heaviest across the state in a line from
Charlottesville to Fredericksburg to Salisbury, Md line. Accumulations
1 to 3 inches seems possible 30 miles either side of that line, but
along the coast just a coating to an inch. North of that area up to
the middle part of Maryland, a coating to 1 inch seems more likely
with some seeing as much as 2" in the southern part of this area. In
Southern part of the Appalachian Mts from Afton down SW to Tazewell
and 25 miles either side of this 2 to 4 inches with some 6 inch
amounts in higher elevations seems likely.

Few selected spots
Charlottesville; 2 inches
Fredericksburg: 2 inches
Washington DC/Dulles: 1 inch
Spotsylvania: 2 inches
Ashland: trace to an inch
Salisbury: 1 inch
Richmond: trace Sunday morning

More to come!

Rain Chances|Severe|Cold|Then Snow?

As for the severe yesterday, I am sorry I was not more in front of it. From the storm reports, it appears nothing was noted as severe despite the ominous look to the storms on radar.

Today: Mostly sunny early, and then more clouds and rain chances by later in the day and even thunderstorms possible for the southern half of VA down into NC

Tonight: Chance of thunder in the evening Southern half, and then showers area wide with lows in the 40s.

Wednesday: SPC has outlined the region for potential severe. This is especially true for SW VA and Western NC. The threat would be wind and hail, but isolated tornadoes are also possible. Highs in the 50s north with 60s and 70s to the south.

Wednesday night: Showers and some evening thunderstorms will come to an end. Temps will cool to the low 40s north and upper 40s to around 50 south.

Thursday: Sunny and cooler. Highs will be low 50s north to low 60s south.

Thursday Night: Temps will bottom out in the 20s north to upper 30s south.

Friday: Cool with highs around 50 north to mid and upper 50s south.

Saturday: Very cool to cold. Showers possible. Highs in the 40s north to low and mid 50s south.

Saturday Night: Showers, some mixing with snow possible, especially MD and Northern VA. Temps in the 30s.

Sunday: Showers of rain and still snow possible Northern VA and MD.

Longer range, yet another system may bring colder temps and some snow chances to the Northern areas Tuesday and Wednesday. Beyond this a breakdown in the cold seems likely with highs rebounding to more spring like.

All for now!

Mid Atlantic Weather is growing!!

Rain ends and warm up begins

Rain is already tapering off this morning and should clear the coast by late morning. Temps will rise to the upper 50s to 60 in the north to even 70 degrees in the south. Sunny skies and much warmer weather will visit Thursday with high in the mid 60s north to mid 70s south. Friday will be even warmer with highs in the low and mid 70s north to low 80s south! Friday night a cold front will come through and knock temps  back to the 60s and 70s for Saturday and the 50s and 60s for Sunday. Not too shabby!

Temps look to rebound to the 60s and 70s for Monday and Tuesday as well.

If you have not done so, it is time to put down crab grass preventer fertilizer, especially Northern VA, MD, PA and NJ.

All for now!

Rain on the way|Late week warm up!

A system will cross the region today and bring rain. The rain will move across from southwest and shifting Northeast east starting this afternoon. Precipitation amounts appear to be in the .75 to 1.00 " range along the immediate Piedmont and .5 to as much as .75 elsewhere. Temps will be in the upper 40s north to as high as 60 in the south. Temps will become milder tomorrow with highs reaching the 60 to 70 degree mark and rain should taper off by afternoon. Sunny with temps low 60s north to low 70s south Thursday, and then sunny with temps mid 70s to low 80s Friday! Things will cool some this weekend, but we still look to have highs in the lower 60s north to lower 70s south! Spring has sprung!

Rainy with a chance of more rainy! Severe Potential Later today!

Rain has been ongoing overnight and MAY end up a bit lighter than first thought for storm totals for many, but localized there is still the risk of up to 4" of rain. We will see a lull in activity this morning and then more rain and heavy rain this afternoon. This afternoon also poses a risk for Severe Storms with the main threat of winds in the storms, though an isolated tornado is likely out of the system (http://www.midatlanticweather.com/severe/severe.htm) . Again, total rainfall will cause flooding concerns and you should never drive through water covered roads!

Drier conditions and cooler temps expected tomorrow with highs in the 40s north and in the low and mid 50s south. Temps will rebound to the low 50s north to the Mid and upper 60s south Saturday, and lower 50s to mid 60s Sunday. Temps should then stay around 50 in the north to low 60s in the South through Tuesday. Weather looks dry for now, but do not be surprised to see some changes Tuesday if some models come true.

All for now

Little Mix | A lot of Rain | Severe | Winds | Floods

The NWS is BUSY! We have some mixture of sleet and snow as well as pockets of Freezing rain out west today. Rain will be showery for a long while today and become more constant this afternoon and evening and more heavy tonight and tomorrow. Winds will be strong, especially in SW VA and Western NC where wind advisories are hoisted. Rains will come down strong enough that streams and creeks will flow out of their banks. I suspect we will see Flood Watches turn to many flood warning starting about 7am tomorrow morning in SW VA and far Western VA, spreading eastward to along the I-95 Counties and just to the west by early afternoon and being widespread across central VA and Central VA by mid to late afternoon. 1 - 3" of rain will fall almost everywhere. Pockets of rain in the 3 to 4" range should occur across central VA up into Central MD by tomorrow evening. Those totals will then be seen up into Central and Eastern PA, and NJ. With the strong onshore flow we also will be dealing with coastal flooding. If this were not enough, the dynamics caused by the developing low pressure over SW VA will be strong enough to cause some severe storms, including the possibility of isolated tornadoes. SPC has highlighted eastern VA and Eastern NC with a slight risk for tomorrow due to this - http://www.midatlanticweather.com/severe/day2severe.htm

After all the rain has fallen, the rivers and streams will also have a chance to spill over their banks so expect follow up flood warning for these as well! BUSY times indeed.

What about the wintry mix? Well, this morning as the moisture arrives, very dry air is in place and this is lowering temps at the onset of some precipitation and causing rain to mix with snow and sleet, especially in the mountains and valleys. There are even some places that could see a little freezing rain. Temps will rise and this should be a very short period of time. However,once the low that moves over the region goes north and swings the front through, Western slopes of the mountains and even areas of NW VA, and Western MD could see some snow as the precipitation ends.

Friday looks breezy and cool and then we have seasonal temps in the 47 to 58 degree range Friday, warming to the low 50s North to mid 60s south for the weekend.

There are some signs that by mid next week things could cool down to about 5 to 10 degrees below normal which would mean highs in the north only in the low and mid 40s at best for a few days. There MAY be some wintry weather to watch out for then as well, but it is very far off.

All for now!

nice day before the deluge

Today temps will be 50 to 60 degrees. Some cloudiness will start to infiltrate SW areas. Tonight we will see rain start to occur by daybreak. Temps COULD be cold enough in some of the valleys to see a bit of mixed precip, but think that this will be brief at best. Rain will truly breakout tomorrow area wide and become steady and heavier later in the day. Rain will be heavy at times tomorrow night with temps steady or even climbing a bit. Thursday we will see heavy rain continue with embedded thunderstorms. Some storms could become severe, especially SE VA and Eastern NC. Temps will drop significantly as the front come through later in the day and some snow should mix in Western area over the mountains and possibly spreading eastward, especially in the northwest areas of VA and Western MD, and PA.

Temps will turn a bit cooler Friday and windy. We will see seasonal temps and now it looks like sunny skies for the weekend.

Please stay alert to flooding conditions. Do not attempt to drive through any water!

All for now!

Mid- day update possible!

Dry, windy, and cool this AM

Temps will stay chilly with 40s north, and 50s south. Tuesday will be
about the same. Some breezy weather as the storm system departs. Many
saw between 1 and 3 inches of rain. Some saw 1 to 3 inch snows on top
of that in NW VA, and west MD.

We stay dry until Wednesday when more rain moves in making is a very
wet Wednesday Night into Thursday.

Next weekend may be cloudy with showers Saturday.

All for now!

Heavy Rain | Possible Severe | Seasonal Temps | Then More Rain

Today will be cloudy but quite mild, Temps will be in the upper 50s to the mid 60s. Some showers in the west this afternoon and then rain will overspread the entire region tonight! Rain will be heavy and looks like it will be in the order of .75 to 2" amounts. You can see what the Hydrological Prediction Center (HPC) here - http://www.hpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/d13_fill.gif  - There will be some strong dynamics as well which could cause locally severe weather tomorrow with local wind gusts and also an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out, especially in SE VA and Eastern NC. SPC Has some information on this here: http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/day2otlk.html

We will clear on Monday with highs in the upper 40s to mid 50s. This temp appears to be the same  through Wednesday with some milder temps arriving Thursday and Friday as temps will warm to the mid 50s north and mid 60s south. Rain will also come back again Thursday and we will need to watch for severe as well then and the chance for flooding will increase then as we will have already been drenched from Sunday. See HPC's moisture heading this way on their 4 to 5 day rain out look here: http://www.hpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/95e12p48iwbg_fill.gif

So we have a wet week in total ahead with a few days of drying in between.

Long range concerns raised for a return to colder conditions, though our snow chances are not there so we can put a fork in this winter and call it done!

All for now!

Will be putting out some polls on the future of Mid Atlantic Weather -

Seasonal Day | Milder but a LOT of rain on the way!

Temps will climb from the 20s and 30s up into the upper 40s to upper 50s today. Variable clouds as moisture slowly starts creeping into the air. Tomorrow will be quite a bit milder with temps in the 50s North to upper 60s south. Moisture will overspread teh region and rain could break out later in the day, especially to the west, Rain will become widespread with thunderstorms also embedded, especially southeastern VA and NC. Rain will be heavy at times Sunday into Sunday night. Widespread 1 to 2 inch rains will occur with some spots seeing upwards of 2". HPC's current weekend rain total maps are here http://www.hpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/d13_fill.gif

We will see a return to seasonal to slightly below Monday with 40s to mid 50s and the same Tuesday. By Wednesday will see some warmer mid 50s to mid 60s possible before rain chances increase later that day and especially Thursday.

Need the rain, looks like we will get it!

Of Note, as you can see in HPC's map, New England will get a very high amount of rain over a substantial snow pack. This will mean widespread flooding rains for many up north from PA to ME.

All for now!

Much Colder today | Milder Weekend | Heavy Rains possible Sunday

And we dip again as an Arctic Airmass has settled into the region for the day. Highs will be in the 30s north and mid 40s for the south. Temps will become milder tomorrow an recover to the upper 40s and upper 50s for many!

Saturday all will see an increase in clouds. Temps will again be milder from the mid 50s north to the mid 60's south. Rain chances will also enter the picture, especially to the west and south. By Saturday night, rain should have enveloped the entire area and has a chance to be heavy at times. This will be true Sunday as well as many could see upwards of an inch to maybe 3 locally! Here is HPC's rain outlook:
http://www.hpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/95e00p48iwbg_fill.gif

Based on this, PA and New England will need to brace for floods due to major snow pack melting as well.

After Sunday things will go back to seasonal temps Monday and Tuesday and then another shot at rain by next Wednesday when temps will go above normal for a day.

All for now!

Mile today | Cold tomorrow | Weekend Rains!

We will be milder this afternoon with highs reaching mid and upper 50s north to mid and upper 60s in the south. A cold front will come through and make is MUCH colder tomorrow with highs in the 30s north and 40s south. Temps will be milder Friday and Saturday with highs reaching back to upper 40s and mid 50s Friday and Saturday, and 50s to mid 60s Sunday. Rain will be somewhat heavy now Saturday into Sunday with some places likely to see an inch or more.

More to come!

UPDATED OUTLOOK! Few days were off!

Sorry! Had a few dates wrong!

We will be much cooler than yesterday today as temps will be seasonal with highs in the upper 40s to mid 50s. Tomorrow will be milder with many seeing upper 50s to mid 60s, Much cooler Thursday with highs mainly in the 40 to 45 degree range and then a slow  warming to seasonal levels again for the weekend. The weekend is looking like it could feature some showers especially on Sunday, but things have changed a bit on models. We will have to see if the trends continue.

Much milder air could again visit next week with highs reaching the 60s and 70s for a few days before a strong cold front and potentially huge amounts of rain hit from a stalled front around the 9th.

All for now!
