Good morning! If you stayed up late last night — great chance you experienced snowfall across the region, however, waking up early this morning that’s a different story as the dreaded rain-snow has crept into the area.
Through the early morning through, snowfall did accumulate across parts of town! Totals ranged from 2″-5″ along the Peninsulas and the Eastern Shore, with around an inch to two along the Southside.
Developing overnight, though, was a wintry mix that blended in along the state line and the southside – this put a damper on those snowfall totals — but will keep roads slick through the mid-late morning timeframe. Care driving!!
Precipitation comes to an end pretty quickly this morning as the system races offshore, pulling in some cold dry air for most of our weekend. This will welcome back sunshine as the day progresses and that could climb our temperatures to near 40°.
Roadways will remain slick through the morning, especially the less traveled streets, neighborhood roads, backroads, etc. Fortunately with the sunshine roads will improve around lunch time and into the evening. However, any melting that doesn’t dry from the sunshine will refreeze and ice up tonight. Something to keep in mind for any early Sunday morning travel. This shouldn’t be on main roads or highways — but any road or street that sees a lot of shade during the day.
Lows tonight are expected to drop big time — many spots could wake up in the 20s, with some inland locations in the upper teens. Cold sunshine then expected for the remainder of the weekend with highs tomorrow pinned in the 30s…
