Scattered snow showers for Friday with frigid temps for weekend

Updated: 5:55 AM EST Jan 3, 2025

THE TIME NOW 444. WE’RE LOOKING AT AND T BANK STADIUM. WE’RE EXCITED FOR THE GAME TOMORROW, BUT JUST KNOW IT’S GOING TO BE PRETTY COLD. IT’S GOING TO BE BELOW FREEZING ALL DAY TOMORROW, SO YOU’LL WANT LOTS OF WARM LAYERS. SO WE’VE GOT SOME ACTIVE WEATHER TO TALK ABOUT THROUGH THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, INCLUDING TODAY WHERE WE HAVE A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN PLACE BECAUSE OF THE SNOW AND RAIN SHOWERS WILL GET THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING, AND THEN IT’S DRY THROUGH THE WEEKEND, BUT VERY COLD ONLY IN THE 30S WITH BLUSTERY WINDS. MORE SNOW IS POSSIBLE MONDAY. STILL LIKELY TO GET AT LEAST SOME ACCUMULATION, ALTHOUGH THE DETAILS STILL NEED TO WORK OUT. BE WORKED OUT A BIT ABOUT JUST HOW MUCH. WHEN WE GET A BETTER IDEA ON THE PATH OF THE STORM. TEMPERATURES RIGHT NOW ARE COLD. WE’RE CURRENTLY BELOW FREEZING IN THE UPPER 20S AND LOW 30S, BUT IT IS DRY TO START OUT THIS FRIDAY, SO THIS IS THE EASIEST PART OF THE DAY. WHEN IT’S COMPLETELY DRY, YOU JUST NEED TO DRESS WARM AS YOU HEAD OUT. TEMPERATURES WILL BE CLIMBING FROM THE 20S TO THE 30S TO ABOVE FREEZING TO NEAR 40 THIS AFTERNOON. AND THAT’S IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE GET THE WINTRY SHOWERS DEVELOPING IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING WHILE THE TEMPERATURES ARE ABOVE FREEZING. AND THAT’S GOOD NEWS FOR THE ROADS, ESPECIALLY AS THEY’VE ALREADY PUT A LOT OF BRINE DOWN IN MANY LOCATIONS. SO OVERALL, THE ROADS SHOULD BE OKAY DURING THE DAYTIME, IT’S AFTER THE SUN GOES DOWN THAT I’M CONCERNED THAT EVEN UNTREATED WET ROADS COULD THEN FREEZE. SO LOOKING AT THE FUTURECAST, WE’RE DRY THROUGH THIS MORNING, BUT SNOW SHOWERS ALREADY STARTING IN THE MOUNTAINS AND THAT’S GOING TO BE A LOT HEAVIER OUT THERE WHERE SEVERAL INCHES IS POSSIBLE ALL THE WAY TOWARDS CARROLL KAI GARRETT COUNTY. HERE IN THE BALTIMORE AREA, THE SNOW SHOWERS BEGIN MAINLY AFTER NOON, AND THEY COULD MIX WITH A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN AT TIMES, ESPECIALLY SOUTH AND EAST OF BALTIMORE. AND THAT’S WHY ANY ACCUMULATION IS MORE LIKELY TO THE NORTH AND TO THE NORTHEAST. AGAIN, WE’RE GOING TO BE ABOVE FREEZING THROUGH ABOUT 5:00. BUT AFTER THAT, AS THE SNOW SHOWERS ARE TAPERING OFF, THAT’S WHEN I’M CONCERNED THINGS COULD FREEZE OVER THE MAIN ROADS SHOULD BE BETTER. THOSE ARE THE ONES MORE LIKELY TO BE TREATED, BUT IT’S THE SIDE STREETS AND THE SIDEWALKS AND THE DRIVEWAYS THAT COULD TURN SLICK BECAUSE THE WET ROADS COULD THEN FREEZE ONCE WE DROP BELOW FREEZING. SO BETWEEN 12 P.M. AND 9 P.M., THOSE SCATTERED WINTRY SHOWERS, A MINOR ACCUMULATION IS POSSIBLE. MORE LIKELY ON THE GRASS RATHER THAN ON THE ROADS. BUT ANY PAVEMENT THAT’S NOT TREATED COULD FREEZE AFTER 5 P.M. THEN WE HAVE TO FOCUS ON WHAT’S COMING NEXT WEEK. SUNDAY NIGHT, LATE INTO THE NIGHT, AFTER MIDNIGHT, WE GET SNOW DEVELOPING, SO THIS IS MAINLY A CONCERN NOT ONLY FOR MONDAY MORNING, WHERE THE ROADS COULD ALREADY BE COVERED IN SNOW, BUT THEN IT’S GOING TO SNOW THROUGHOUT THE DAY ON MONDAY, SO THERE COULD BE ADDITIONAL ISSUES AS WE STAY BELOW FREEZING. THE COMPUTER MODELS ARE STILL DISAGREEING ON THE EXACT PATH OF THIS STORM SYSTEM RIGHT NOW. THERE COULD EITHER BE A HEAVY BAND SOUTH OF US OR HEAVY BAND NORTH OF US. WE KIND OF FALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THOSE POSSIBILITIES. SO I’LL SAY AT LEAST THREE INCHES OF SNOW POSSIBLE ON MONDAY. THINGS COULD ALWAYS CHANGE THOUGH, DEPENDING ON THE EXACT TRACK, BUT AT LEAST GIVES YOU AN IDEA THAT THERE COULD BE A LOT OF DISRUPTIONS TO SCHEDULES ON MONDAY, SO IT’S NOT A BAD IDEA TO START PLANNING AHEAD. I KNOW I’M ALREADY THINKING ABOUT MY BACKUP CHILDCARE FOR MONDAY, GIVEN THAT THE SCHOOL SCHEDULE COULD BE AFFECTED NOW. TODAY, A 40 DEGREE HIGH MEANS THE WINTRY SHOWERS ARE MAINLY WET ON THE ROADS UNTIL WE DROP BELOW FREEZING THIS EVENING, SO WATCH FOR SLICK SPOTS TONIGHT. WE’RE DOWN TO 25 TONIGHT WITH CLEARING SKIES. LOOK HOW COLD IT IS THIS WEEKEND. ONLY IN THE 30S WITH BLUSTERY WINDS, INCLUDING FOR THE RAVENS GAME. AND MONDAY. WE’RE JUST ALERTING YOU THAT THE SNOW IS LIKELY. THERE COULD BE AT LEAST SOME ACCUMULATION, DEPENDING ON THE TRACK OF THE STORM, IT WILL BE BELOW FREEZING ALL THAT DAY. AFTER THAT, THERE COULD BE SLICK
