Wednesday Morning 2/13 Wow! What an ice event this turned out to be...the cold wedge is going to be hard to break Today in the areas near the PA line in the Mountains. Elsewhere, it should get above 32 eventually. An area of low pressure will ride up the I95 corridor Today, and the flow around the top of the storm should pull in some slightly warmer air into the Metro Areas. As I write this...8 AM...temps were in the upper 50s across the Eastern Shore and still in the 20s around Hagerstown! Some of that warmer air should be pulled West. Rain is likely most of the day as the storm passes. Overnight, most of the models take a strong vorticity maximum around the base of the upper trof behind the surface low late Tonight. This might pull some of the precip back and allow the cold air to catch up again...this time, it will be cold through the entire column though...that means there could be a period of snow before everything ends after Midnight. Minor accumulations are possible. The weather looks OK for Valentine's Day!
