Late Day & Evening Showers


Today's 'event' is not a big deal -- and will mostly be liquid given current trends in precipitation intensity, timing, and temperatures at the surface.   Precipitation is starting to break out across Virginia and extends back into Ohio and Indiana -- with the radar returns to our south in Maryland not reaching the ground early this morning.   Expect a slow and steady increase in cloud cover through the day today, with showers possible after 4 PM as the first of two storm systems moves east.

Precipitation will occur through the evening hours -- steadier after 7 or 8 PM, especially south/east of the city -- before precipitation winds down early Thursday morning.   Some of the rain could mix with snowflakes but accumulating snow does not look likely from this first event.

Briefly updating the second event, computer guidance is still showing the storm system on the board for Thursday night into Friday morning.  The "earlier" guidance on the GFS seems to be winning out, meaning that rain (and any snow that falls/accumulates) pulls out on Friday morning.  The snow question is still to be answered and much of that will be determined by how quickly the storm intensifies, but if the city receives just rain the game should be able to get played on Friday.    We'll update you on the progress of this later on today...
