If you’re in the eastern areas and rain is falling this morning, then you will likely stay rain for the remainder of the day. In the areas that a mix of sleet and snow is falling, which is most of the area, temperatures above will continue to rise and gradually change what is falling to rain, but before then, things could get dicey. When the steadier precipitation arrives soon, some areas will go to heavy snow as the column above cools from falling precipitation. In those areas, which I think will be right along and west of 95, there could be a quick accumulation of an inch or two in a few hours. For most of us, I think we should be all rain by about 3 or 4PM with the precip ending this evening. Further west where the transition to rain will be later or not at all, there will be accumulations of 3 – 6″. That is along the I-15 corridor. Regardless, be careful if you’re out today as conditions will vary by location.
As I type this now in Pikesville, rates are picking up and potato chips are falling from the sky. Hopefully that continues through the afternoon.
