Thursday March 21 2019

Technically we can call this a spring rain, but that is where the fun ends. We already have plenty of water and soggy soil. Today’s coastal storm will be bringing in periods of moderate to heavy rain by lunchtime through this evening. Below are three radar simulation sliders to show the rain timelines in the morning, afternoon, and evening.

Between one and two inches of rain is expected, which can lead to high water. The spring tides may also add to high water on the Bay shores by this evening and tonight.

Low Pressure in North Carolina is heading our way and will pump in moisture. As expected (perhaps with the full moon), this storm is going to overachieve. That means it will bring more rain, but the good news is that it will last just today for us. This will rapidly develop and mix in heavy snow to our north in New England… but that cold air will bring snow to western Maryland Friday morning. We may get some flakes or ice pellets to mix in with showers Friday afternoon.

Friday Showers With Snow?

The colder unstable air will bring snow to western Maryland moist of Friday. The afternoon will bring some showers over the mountains. It is possible that colder air will mix in some snow or ice pellets. But temperatures will be too warm for anything to stick. Just mentioning it so you won’t be too surprised if you see it.
