Today's clipper system is our appetizer before the more significant storm we're gearing up for Sunday night into Monday as this active weather pattern keeps rolling. Conditions have been rough across the mountains, with steady snow falling since sunrise in far western MD and WV. Some of this precipitation is spilling east, with wet snow mixed with rain across the I-81 corridor around lunchtime. Scattered rain/snow squalls will continue to head east through the afternoon, dropping visibility and making for difficult travel this evening. Any precipitation that falls will come down quickly, turning it soggy/slick in a snap. The higher chance for snow to stick will be to the north and west, where Winter Weather Advisories (purple) are in place. A Winter Storm Warning (pink) remains in place for Garrett County, where several inches of snow is on tap. All precipitation will end by 6-8 PM outside of the mountains, but then it will quickly start getting colder and windier. Until everything dries out, colder temperatures could re-freeze any standing water, creating black ice, so take caution if anything looks wet. Blustery winds of 20-30 mph will develop overnight and continue throughout Saturday, producing bitter-cold wind chills. Feels-like temperatures will be in the single digits and teens across the DMV tomorrow morning, so be sure to bundle up accordingly. It doesn't get much warmer Saturday afternoon, with wind chills only improving into the teens and 20s. Calmer conditions will prevail into Sunday, but the cold air will stay. Toward the end of the weekend, our attention will quickly turn to the winter storm that's set to arrive here Sunday night and last through Monday. Confidence continues to grow with a few aspects of this storm. One of those aspects is that the DMV is in for a wintry mess that will make travel treacherous to impossible, with measurable snow likely for the entire area. Timing is also becoming more apparent, with precipitation starting no earlier than just after sunset on Sunday. The most intense precipitation will be overnight through Monday morning before things taper down Monday evening. A pure snow or a snow/sleet/freezing rain mix event is most probable, with that mixed-bag scenario more likely between the two. If we see a mix of snow and ice, it will mean lower snowfall totals but more treacherous conditions to be out in. Exact snow and ice forecasts are becoming more apparent, and we should have a first look at those later today. Regardless of actual amounts, this will be a plowable and measurable snow/ice event for the entire region, and we'll need to be prepared. We'll continue to have more updates in the coming days. After this system clears on Monday night, it will continue to get colder throughout the rest of next week. Gusty winds will usher in this colder air and produce frigid wind chills, with high temperatures barely returning to the 20s most days. Stay bundled up the best you can; winter will continue to pack a punch for several days. Have a great weekend, and stay safe and warm out there! 7-Day Forecast: Today: Cloudy and breezy with rain/snow showers and squalls.
