Tomorrow, the rain will end by mid day and allow temps to approach 70ºF. THEN, snow, sleet, and even some inland freezing rain is possible Thursday and Friday. This is the kind of weather weather that makes you crazy or proud to live here.

Rain covered the Ohio Valley just west of Maryland at 6 AM. This will be spreading in by the afternoon through this evening.
A second cluster of thunderstorms in the Southern US could bring severe weather to that region again. This may include tornadoes and large hail between East Texas to Western Tennessee.
A large region of colder air sits behind this weather system with snow expanding across the Northern US.

The mention of a wintry mix conjures up all kinds of expectations. This event looks like there will be a mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain developing on Thursday. At this point I do not see much travel impact on the roads, but we will watch it.
Ground temps will be warm, but the mix will continue through Friday morning allowing time for the ground to cool, especially inland west and north of Baltimore.
THIS WILL LIKEY NOT BE AN ISSUE ALONG THE BAY OR SOUTHERN MARYLAND.
The system will bring in warmer air, eventually turning to just rain on Friday. This will be followed by yet anther arctic push on yet another weekend.
Last Winter Recap: My Old Outlook And Your Grades Of My Storm Forecasts
*Disclaimer due to frequent questions:
I am aware there are some spelling and grammar typos. I have made a few public statements over the years, but if you are new here you may have missed it:
I have dyslexia, and found out at my second year at Cornell. I didn’t stop me from getting my meteorology degree, and being first to get the AMS CBM in the Baltimore/Washington region.
I do miss my mistakes in my own proofreading. The autocorrect spell check on my computer sometimes does an injustice to make it worse.
All of the maps and information are accurate. The ‘wordy’ stuff can get sticky.
There is no editor that can check my work when I need it and have it ready to send out in a newsworthy timeline.
I accept this and perhaps proves what you read is really from me…
It’s part of my charm.
