Jason M., Calvert County; Mintong N., Bethesda; Nikki B., St. Mary's County
9:00 AM 3/2/12 Forecaster Jason: Showers with possible thunderstorms can be expected late this afternoon through Saturday morning, with cooler temperatures arriving Sunday. Good morning Capital Region! Although we currently have sunny skies
over the area, clouds will steadily increase across the region heading
into the early afternoon hours. Temperatures are around 40°, and will
rise into the 50s by noon. We will have a chance for showers and
possibly a thunderstorm by late afternoon. Highs will be in the upper
50s to lower 60s with east winds around
10-15 mph. Chances for showers and embedded thunderstorms will increase
this evening into the overnight hours. Low temperatures will be in the
upper 40s to around 50°.
Onshore winds will elevate water levels
along the Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay, and a Coastal Flood Advisory
is in effect until 7AM Saturday. Tides will be 1-2 feet above normal. http://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?warnzone=MDZ018&warncounty=MDC009&firewxzone=MDZ018&local_place1=2+Miles+WNW+Huntingtown+MD&product1=Coastal+Flood+Advisory
A cold front will sweep through the region Saturday morning, with
showers and thunderstorms expected during the morning hours. A few
strong storms cannot be ruled out at this time. Rainfall amounts will be
up to one half inch, with localized higher amounts. Temperatures in the
afternoon should reach the upper 50s to lower 60s with west winds
around 15 mph.
Temperatures early next week will return to more
typical values for early March with highs in the lower 50s. Highs will
be in the mid to upper 40s for Monday. Plenty of cloud coverage is
likely for both days.
Later this afternoon and evening, a
significant tornado outbreak is likely across the lower Ohio Valley into
the Tennessee Valley. Storms in those areas will be capable of
producing destructive winds, large hail, and potentially long-track
tornadoes. If you have friends or family in these areas, please make
sure they are aware of this event. Current SPC outlook: http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/day1otlk.html

Where is the old running stream of comments that used to be on the old site?
Howard County Parents- Since tomorrow is an early dismissal day there is no possibility of a delay. We will either have school or not. Always good to have a contingency plan in place.
