March 5 Rain The Next Two Days And Again Saturday
March 5, 2024
Tuesday Morning Update
The first of three areas of Low Pressure this week is already here. Rain will be mostly this morning, but it will remain chilly into the afternoon east of the mountains. If you are near or west of I-81, it will be a nice day farther west.
We all get in on the action with more rain on Wednesday. So, if your ground is not soggy, it will be soon, and yes, the drought is over.
This will be followed by a stronger storm at the weekend. Saturday will be a soaker, ending by Sunday… with the exception of snow in the mountains that will bring some of the ski areas a bit of relief for the late-season attempt to hang on.
Morning Temperatures
Morning Surface Weather
Today’s storm is passing directly over Delmarva this morning. This compact band of rain will pivot through the region, keeping the same areas wet until within a few hours noon.
The next system is organizing to the west.

Afternoon Winds
The circulation around the Coastal Low will keep the areas east of the mountains much cooler… while the sun will make for a nice day farther west. I-81 and westward will be the rough dividing line.

RESTATING MY MESSAGE ABOUT DYSLEXIA
I am aware there are some spelling and grammar typos and occasional other glitches. I take responsibility for my mistakes and even the computer glitches I may miss. 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 during my second year at Cornell University. It didn’t stop me from getting my meteorology degree and being the first to get the AMS CBM in the Baltimore/Washington region. One of my professors told me that I had made it that far without knowing and to not let it be a crutch going forward. That was Mark Wysocki, and he was absolutely correct! I do miss my mistakes in my own proofreading. The autocorrect spell check on my computer sometimes does an injustice to make it worse. I also can make mistakes in forecasting. No one is perfect at predicting the future. All of the maps and information are accurate. The ‘wordy’ stuff can get sticky. There has been no editor who can check my work when I need it and have it ready to send out in a newsworthy timeline. Barbara Werner is a member of the web team that helps me maintain this site. She has taken it upon herself to edit typos when she is available. That could be AFTER you read this. I accept this and perhaps proves what you read is really from me… It’s part of my charm. #FITF
