Wintry Stew

Today's special: Wintry Stew. The freezing rain and sleet were contained to the morning hours as temperatures get comfortably above freezing this afternoon. It's about as cold of a rain as it gets for sure. Later this evening, we could see some flurries and snow showers before the night is over as a quick cold thumper moves overhead.

Now on to Friday and the Weekend. You are going to love this, it's dry with mild temperatures. Now, I wouldn't be camping, but a bonfire and s'mores would be a good idea.

Forecast Discussion

Surface low pressure swings up the Carolina coast, making its way to New England today. Along for the ride is a cold front that will have a noticeable effect on our area. I am not just talking about the sleet and freezing rain mix this morning, but also the really cold temperatures tonight. Later this evening we could see some snow showers and flurries as the parent upper level low passes through the Virginias. We don't expect any significant accumulations though.

As the low pressure moves out of our area, a high pressure system will start to build and take effect Friday night. Temperatures will rebound into near-average range for the weekend and upcoming week. Another cold front starts heading our way Sunday night into Monday that could generate a little sprinkles for our region. Other than that, everything else in this forecast cycles remains dry.
