The coastal storm is taking form and looking at Doppler Radar it does appear to have some influence over our region. But, it is really light and a mix of flurries inland or rain around the southern Chesapeake Bay. There is actually more snow to the south in St. Mary’s County and towards Richmond VA. But temps are above freezing. Let’s be real here: This is going to be a powerful event, but not our storm. Again! Snow lovers who never lose Faith in the Flakes and even those that just want one last push of winter may be itching for some action. Well, let’s focus on some. There will be a band of snow open the very back edge of this storm developing tonight. I do not thing it will amount to much more than coating the grass in some spots and possibly some slush on a few side roads up north. Temperatures are just marginal and will get colder after this thing moves away.

Here is a look at the radar simulation through Tuesday morning from the HRRR model. Please take this as just a guide as the best potential for something falling from the sky. Also see the temperatures below. While the suggested snow totals are here as well, that is a worse case scenario. FITF

Snowfall Potential

How much can actually stick of this? Consider some melting and the road temps are still warmer than freezing.

Temperatures

Evening snow and rain showers while temperatures stay above freezing

Midnight snow while temperatures just hit freezing far north/west

Morning temperatures show the normally colder areas with some possible icing if there is slush or snow nearby
