Forecast Discussion
Warmer temperatures in the 40’s and 50’s are possible in the eastern valleys with skies gradually clearing out the rest of today. To the west in the mountains, clouds will be much more stubborn and temperatures likely stay in the 30’s.
Everyone turns mostly clear tonight as temperatures plummet down into the 20’s for a chilly start to Wednesday. We’re due for some quiet days no doubt, and tomorrow will be one of those precious days with cool high pressure overhead. Clouds quickly return after morning sunshine, and the next storm arrives overnight. This system is looking like another wintry mess, but trends have tried to go colder, which would mean a longer stretch of mainly snow. This is something we’ll be keeping a close eye on in the coming days, as recent storms have also trended colder, but in the end warmer air caused more mixing and limited snow totals.
As of the writing of this discussion, here’s the expected timeline for Thursday. Expect snow to move in late Wednesday night and continue until about mid-day Thursday. Mixing will begin to take place and push from south to north into the early afternoon, with more freezing rain and sleet likely the rest of the day. A quick changeover to all rain will take place heading into the overnight, with some lingering snow showers around into Friday morning. As far as totals are concerned, we’re working on getting some concrete numbers put together, but it’s not out of the question that up to 6” of snow falls in parts of WV, MD, and PA Thursday morning. Combine that with potential sleet accumulation later in the day, and we’re in for an impactful event. At the very least, heading into the weekend we’ll be calmer, but cooler. Another round of light mixed precipitation is then possible to start out next week.
Enjoy the quieter weather today and have a great Tuesday!
