East Coast Storm To Come On Sunday

Good afternoon everyone. I was watching the Weather Channel this morning, and noticed that the storm forecasted to hit the area late this weekend into early next week is coming into the area starting on Sunday morning, and will continue throughout the day into the evening.

The storm is expected to start off as a mixture of snow showers and rain showers in the morning, and then change to all rain by the afternoon. There is already a Hazardous Weather Outlook for a great deal of Maryland and Northern Virginia including Baltimore and Washington, D.C. metropolitan areas. The forecast indicates that during the late night on Saturday, and into Sunday, there is a chance of freezing rain, sleet, and snow.

A small craft advisory is still in effect for the coastal waters off New Jersey. Temperatures are forecasted now to be slightly cooler than they were in the last report on the storm posted yesterday. The high on Saturday is expected to climb to 45 while the low is forecast to dip down to 29 as the clouds begin to roll in from the south and west. On Sunday, temperatures will struggle to get to 40 degrees along with a 90 percent chance of sleet and snow.

By Sunday night, the precipitation turns to all rain, and there is a 100 percent chance of that as temperatures are not going to fall much at all. A chance of showers still exists for Monday. About a 50 percent chance of precipitation exists while the mercury is expected to climb well into the 40s, and perhaps 50 degrees. Temps will then nosedive into the low 30s on Monday night with another chance of rain and snow into Tuesday morning.
