Friday March 6 2020

A storm is developing and trying to phase. That is when two pieces join forces for a larger and stronger system. We will be on the very edge of this as it does its thing off of the coast. The result will be rain today, then snow mixing in and spreading southward across Maryland tonight.

Temperatures should be too warm for stickage, with the exception of some grass areas north of Baltimore and into southern Pennsylvania early Saturday.

What will follow will be a windy Saturday, then temps jump close to 70ºF by Monday.

Note: Clocks turn forward to Daylight Saving Sunday morning.  Sunset will be pushed into the 7 PM hour.

This storm will intensify quickly, but just far enough off the coast to clip but not hit us hard.

SNOWFALL

Northern Baltimore suburbs could get a coating of snow, and with temps below freezing Saturday morning might have some like spots.

  • Western Maryland’s Wisp: 2 to 4 inches
  • Snowshow, WV: 6 to 10 inches

 

Saturday

Windy and cold

 

 

Looking Ahead

After a chilly start to the weekend, temps will jump to nearly 70ºF by Monday. This has nothing to do with the clock change but will definitely make it feel like spring!
