Update follows **
Due to lack of time, this will unfortunately have to be fairly brief. As I type this, light snow
is falling across the Delaware Valley and is slowly increasing in intensity. I expect this
trend to continue over the next few hours as a moderate band of precip shifts our way.
Temps will remain in the upper 20's through noon. Snow will change to sleet between 2 and
4 this afternoon followed by a change to freezing rain and then just plain rain. **Precip is
intensifying over the DelMarVa and back thru Washington. Moderate to heavy snow will
accumulate between 2 and 4 inches before any changeover occurs.** I don't foresee a
*major* problem with icing, but driving will be hazardous nonethless. Temps will rise into
the mid 30's by the evening rush. Beleive it or not, once again we will be very warm
tomorrow with highs in the low 50's. Some models were hinting at a change backover to
snow, but with surface temps being so warm, I find this hard to believe. Rain will be heavy
at times tonight and tomorrow before tapeing to intermittent showers in the afternoon.
Expect clearing tomorrow night and turning colder. Another clipper system possible early
next week. Check back soon.
