People pass on the warnings on their devices. You got a couple tricky storms. Definitely is. February is always tricky because theres a higher sun angle and temperatures are marginal sometimes. Were talking about snow chances wednesday and for the weekend and it will depend on the track of both systems and what those temperatures are like. So it gives us something to keep an eye on in the weather center, but you dont have to worry about too much tonight. Temperatures arent bad at all. Were holding onto warmer temperatures at 11 00, still 53 degrees. That would be a bargain the end of february for the daytime high. Frederick is down to 48, manassas 46, but thats not bad. Weve got a cool front swinging through tonight. It will be drier tomorrow and the winds will pick up later tonight. I dont think well get much colder than 39 in the district, maybe a couple places close to 30, but with the wind youll notice in the early morning. It might make that chill feel a little more noticeable to you. Wanted you to see weve got a gust of 40 miles an hour now at winchester. So the winds are picking up to our west. They will spread west to east across the city for a brief amount of time, not expecting those to be advisory winds. We are not outlooked for that in the district or metro area, but opt west and especially high spot out west and especially high spots you could pick up a gust running till 10 appear tuesday. In the afternoon we 10 a. M. Tuesday. In the afternoon we all get a break from the wind, our temperature dropping to 39 degrees. Tomorrow is nice, about 51 degrees after the noon hour.

So over the next couple days this is what well be watching, active branch of the jet stream in the south for a change. Thats what contributed to the terrible Severe Weather outbreak in mississippi and alabama last night, 15 reports of tornadoes. Well catch a little system organizing out of that moisture on wednesday and depending on the timing and when it gets in here, it might be rain or rain mixed with snow or ending as snow. That low will track up from the south once High Pressure get out of the way but not until wednesday afternoon or evening, could potentially affect the evening rush hour especially north and west of d. C. The next one would be for the weekend. The wednesday storm does not have a lot of cold air to work with and with the timing of it coming in the afternoon even if it does snow, it might melt. Could be a stronger storm for the weekend. There will be much colder air around, but does this storm come closer to the coast or track out to sea . We dont know yet. I would not bank on that one for the weekend, but theres some potential we could see a little snow out of that or maybe a brushing and it rushes out. Either way youve got a lot of sunshine during the day tomorrow and to show you we dont see the moisture getting in until sometime in the afternoon wednesday. You can see why well keep an eye on it because of the timing, a weekday during the evening rush hour.
