Forecast for February 1, 2011

Today:
We will be under a Winter Weather Advisory through Noon today. Freezing rain across the Mid-Atlantic will be possible, especially during the morning commute. There will be some slick spots, especially on untreated roads and surfaces. Take your time, even though the ice accumulation will be light, only a little ice makes moving around extremely slick.  High temperatures today will be in the low to mid 30s.

Tonight:
Patchy Freezing Rain is possible tonight, but will be dependent on the temperature. Lows will be in the lower 30s, but if they are able to stay above freezing, we will not have to worry about any icy patches. Winds tonight will be light out of the Northeast.

Wednesday through Weekend:
Wednesday will be warmer as a low pressure system to our w will usher in the high temperatures from the south. Rain showers will be off and on throughout the day as the front slides through during the evening. Thursday and through the week temperatures will drop off a lot as arctic air filters in behind the front. Snow chances exist for Saturday as well.

Today will definitely be a Monday. It will be cold and skies will be gray. Highs today will only reach the low 30s. Winds will be out of the NE at around 5 mph.

A monumental storm will move through the US this week, but not bring much in the line of Winter Weather to DC. A chance for Freezing rain will exist Tuesday morning, but other than that we are expecting this to be a rain event for the Mid-Atlantic. Chicago however will be under a potential blizzard. If your flying there Tuesday or Wednesday plan on your flight being delayed at worst. Temperatures through the week will fluctuate quite a bit. Wednesday we will climb into the 50s but Thursday temperatures will struggle to climb above the mid 30s.

Forecast for January 28, 2011

Today:
Skies will remain mostly cloudy throughout the daytime hours. Some snow showers mixing in with a few rain drops will pass through the Mid-Atlantic. Accumulations look light, with most spots a dusting to a half inch of wet snow is expected. High temperatures today will be in the mid to upper 30s with winds staying light. The commute will not be as horrific as Wednesday, I Promise!

Tonight:
Even with the thick cloud deck blanketing us, temperatures tonight will still drop into the 20s thanks to the snowpack.  Winds will be light out of the Northwest.

Weekend into next week:
The weekend looks relatively pleasant. Skies will be partly sunny with temperatures near the 40 degree mark. It is a ways out, but another potential winter storm is on our horizon. At this time it looks like it would move through from Tuesday evening into Wednesday, but models tend to slow systems down so don't rule out the storm moving through early Thursday as well. Their are a lot of details to be ironed out, but at this time snow, rain, and sleet all look possible. Stay tuned!

Forecast for January 26, 2011

Today:
A winter storm watch remains in effect for the DC area with a winter storm warning in effect to our northwest. A winter storm watch means 5" or more of snow is possible. At this time during the day it looks like we will see a mix of rain/sleet/snow. It will changeover to all snow during the afternoon with 1-3" of daytime accumulation possible. Winds will be out of the North at 5-10 mph with high temperatures reaching the upper 30s.

Tonight:
Heavy snow will fall at times tonight, especially during the evening hours. If your commuting home tomorrow give yourself plenty of time and patience, because it will take much longer than usual to get to your destination. Snow will taper off by the overnight with storm totals ranging from 3" in SE DC/Metro to 8" or so in Loudon County. Snowbirds it looks like we can finally rejoice!

Thursday to Weekend:
Conditions look dry Thursday through Sunday. Temperatures Thursday and Friday will be hindered by the fresh snow pack, but 40s look possible by the end of the weekend.

Today:
Skies today will become Partly Sunny as mild temperatures surge into our area in advance of the next storm system that will approach from the SW. Highs will reach the mid to upper 40s and winds will be light out of the S.

Tonight:
Skies will continue to thicken as Low pressure system heads our way. Precipitation should hold off until after sunrise with low temperatures dropping into the low 30s.


Wednesday through end of Week:
The latest computer models are bringing colder air into the system for the DC region and the track of the Low from the latest models would bring a decent snowstorm to the region. At this time 5-10" look possible across portions of the Beltway. Stay tuned as much refining will be made in the next 24 hours. System will clear out early Thursday and temperatures Thursday and Friday look to be in the upper 30s.

Forecast for January 24, 2011

Today:
The good news today is that skies will be sunny and winds will be light. The bad news is we have another frigid day instore across the Beltway as temperatures only warm into the upper 20s and low 30s.

Tonight:
Clouds will filter in and provide a nice blanket for us. Temperatures should not drop to much from afternoon highs and the thick cloud deck will keep us insulated through the overnight. Winds will be light and variable.

Tuesday through Week:
Tuesday clouds will move in as next system inches its way closer from the SW. A chance for light snow will move in Tuesday night into Wednesday. Wednesday is when the brunt of the system will hit, and it looks to hit mainly Wednesday afternoon. This is when temperatures will be warmest and that means at this time the majority of precip that falls will be in form of rain. Thursday sunny skies return and Friday looks sunny as well. Tuesday winds will be out of the S and that will warm us into the low to mid 40s. Temps will then head down back into the upper 30s by the end of the week.

Forecast for January 21, 2011

Today:
The snowstorm that wasn't is one of several headlines today. At most we should expect to wake up with a coating of snow across the DC Metro. Higher amounts will be found to our north and northeast. The headline today, however, will be the breezy conditions across the Mid-Atlantic. Temperatures today will feel closer to 20 than our actual high, which will be in the low 30s.

Forecast for January 20, 2011

Today:
Skies today will be mainly sunny to start off but as high pressure slides to the East clouds will begin to move back in. Highs today will be in the upper 30s and winds will be light out of the North.

Tonight:
A rain/snow mix will be possible this evening, but thanks to evaporative cooling expect temperatures to cool enough for a changeover to all snow. 1-2" will be possible across the Beltway as we wake up Friday morning. This will no doubt cause massive delays as you head into work to finish off the week.

Friday through Weekend:
Snow will depart and leave us with the coldest temperatures of the year. Friday highs will be in the mid 30s, Saturday highs will not rise above the upper 20s, and temperatures stay cold Sunday too.
