Chief Meteorologist Patrick Rockey's First Warning Forecast
We now return to winter already in progress!
Talk about your weather roller coaster. Yesterday we were in the 80s breaking heat records. On Saturday we will be stuck in the 40s and some of us may even see some snowflakes!
A strong, cold front is pushing through the region on this Friday. That will usher in chilly temperatures.
A series of low pressure systems will move along that front, bringing moisture from down south.
For most of us, that will mean a chilly rain for your Saturday.
But in some of our northern locations like the Eastern Shore, we could see some sleet and snow mixed in from time to time.
Even if we do get a little snow, we don’t expect any accumulations and very little impact.
And our return to winter will be very brief. By Sunday afternoon the sunshine will have returned, and we expect highs in the low 60s, which is a few degrees above normal.
And the warming trend will continue as we head into the work week. It looks like we will top out around 63 on Monday with the chance for a few showers.
And by Tuesday, we expect highs in the low 70s under mostly sunny skies!
More wet weather will move in toward the end of the work week and possibly into next weekend. Be prepared.
