Discussion
A significant winter storm will impact the Mid-Atlantic region today with snow likely to break out here late this morning or at mid-day. The snow will then mix with sleet for a brief time before precipitation changes to rain later in the afternoon. Accumulations of a coating to an inch or are possible before the transition to rain in some of the far northern and western suburbs. Some of the rain later today and early tonight can fall heavily at times. On the back side of the storm, NW winds will increase markedly on Thursday with gusts to 50 mph possible, and it’ll be a moderately chilly day with high pressure headed in this direction.
