Because i i believe you. Its hard 74 yesterday, snow during the day tomorrow. Thats how big big of a change weve got out there. Out there towards the airport right now, yeah, the airport one busy place. Current temperature, 53 degrees. So weve got to flip that number around to get to 35 before we start to get some snow accumulating on the roadway. And its going to be hard to get there. 38 columbus, 36 in elkins. 38 in pittsburgh. So that cold air is moving in, and as it does so, the rain will move in first and that cold air will help to change that rain over to snow. Here is the rain now, and there is a ton of moisture down toward the south. Its all going to ride up the coast. First we get the clouds and then by early tomorrow morning, 7 00 a. M. , it is just rain for the bulk of the area for about 90 of us watching around frederick, baltimore, gaithersburg, manassas, quantico, all of southern maryland, the northern neck, starting off as rain. But back ai81 corridor, this will change to snow very quickly here. And then that snow will transition even down towards the d. C. Metro area and i95. By around 11 00. But notice southern maryland, you are still dealing with the rain. I think this will be an allrain event for you. Same thing down from fredericksburg down towards the northern neck. Then the snow comes back in around 2 00, still rain to the south. Maybe a little bit in the way of some mix in some parts of the area. But staying all snow back towards the west. Possibly ending as another bout of rain around d. C. Before its all said and done. The warnings and advise hes. Winter weather advisory from montgomery county, howard county, fairfax, prince william. Winter storm warnings back towards the west. Here is the advisory. Roads will be wet, mostly from the rain. Could get a little slushy at the time we see the heaviest snow around 11 00 to 2 00 in the afternoon. That could see that could be where we see some problems on its secondary roads. But rain to snow and an accumulation only on the grass. Not too worried about the roadways in most areas. Back to the west, different story. Especially in areas of elevation. 3 to 6 inches will become likely. More around the 3, but elevated areas could get up to 6 inches. And then roads will become fairly slippery if youre traveling back towards the west. So heres the map. Our snowfall forecast, rain down toward the south. I95, back to the west just a little bit. Maybe up to an inch. Thats a coating to an inch in parts of the area. 1 to 3, including around the gainesville area, leesburg. Gaithersbu gaithersburg, damascus, mt. Airy and frederick. And 3 to 6 around luray, front royal, the i81 corridor off towards charlestown and martinsburg. More as you go back towards the west and thats what well continue to see. Thats why our impact forecast tomorrow will be on the high side for sure. Because of that travel. And just about everywhere tomorrow, we fall below freezing. So that means we could see some icy roadways early thursday morning. Thanksgiving, 39 degrees. Looking good there. 37 on friday. So just staying on the cold side. Saturday and sunday, temperatures warming back into the upper 50s by sunday. So not bad after that. Thanks, doug.
