Today is going to be fun with summertime instability in a winter cold front.
Be prepared for the passage of an arctic front that will likely bring an intense snow shower similar to a summer thunderstorm and then dangerously cold temperatures. A strong snow band has already formed over Ohio and models are suggesting that it will cross central MD from west to east from about 12 – 2PM. Most areas will see a burst of heavy snow for about 15 minutes and very gusty winds of up to 50 mph that will cause dangerous driving conditions including icy roads and reduced visibility. Behind the front will be an immediate drop in temperatures and strong winds that will make it feel much colder. By evening, temperatures will be in the teens with strong winds making it feel well below zero. The NWS has a Wind Advisory in place for central MD until 6PM, and a Wind Chill Advisory from 9PM tonight until 10AM tomorrow. Overnight air temperatures are expected to just above zero with wind chill temperatures of -15 to -10.
Friday afternoon and evening may bring another round of light snow to the area.

It must be a Kettering thing because I was going to mention that in the update this morning! It is going to be nasty when that front gets here. Snow squall warnings just went up for the Cumberland area for whiteout conditions! Can’t wait!
