Most of the DMV doesn't have a severe risk that could be rated by the SPC except for our eastern areas, who are in the marginal risk. Our western areas don't have any risk at all(not even TSTM, general risk for non-severe thunderstorms), but DC and most of MoCo are in the TSTM area(non-severe). Some of the Eastern Shore and Delaware are in a slight risk. But they aren't in our region(LWX). There is also a freeze warning for our northern and western areas. Temps will get to or drop below 32 in our northern areas, including Northern MoCo(the freeze warning isn't for northern MoCo though). The cold front is passing through, and it will be very windy. Although you may have gone out the day with a light jacket, when you come back in the afternoon, you're gonna need a winter jacket! It will be really chilly by the time the sun sets. Temps are dropping fast. North/northwest winds are gonna be pulling in cold air, indicating a cold front moving through. And it's already showing its effects. In southern Maryland, temps dropped from the mid 60's to 51 degrees in less than 2 hours. Once the sun has set, it's gonna get colder faster, and areas will drop below freezing at times. Let me show you some maps.
These are the current events happening. The dark purple represents a freeze warning. Elsewhere, there is a hazardous weather outlook. There are some severe thunderstorm watches/warnings, but that's only for the Eastern Shore.Wednesday, April 21, 2021
Freeze Warning for Northern Areas + Severe Risk for Eastern Areas
As you can see, most of our region is either in the general risk or nothing. DC and most of MoCo(except for northwestern MoCo) is in the general risk for non severe thunderstorms. Our eastern areas are in the marginal risk, and thats the only exception.
Areas in the green have a 5% chance of seeing 1"+ hail 25 miles away from any point.
Areas in the green have a 5% chance of seeing 65+ mph winds 25 miles away from any point. Areas in the yellow have a 15% chance of seeing 65+ mph winds 25 miles away from any certain point.
And yes, there is still a chance to see snow tomorrow. However, as stated in the previous post, if there is snow, it will be very isolated and localized. There will be frost and a freeze tomorrow, especially in our northern and inland areas. During the night, northern and western will drop below freezing. This gives a higher potential for snow to materialize, if there's precipitation. Don't count or bet on it yet though. I will be doing a winter recap sometime this May.
