For those traveling for the holiday, it’s an unsettled week weather-wise as a few small systems work their way through the region. The majority of the pre-Christmas portion of the week is looking mainly dry with the exception of the possibility of some overnight rain or snow showers tonight that should have little impact on the roads as temperatures should be at or above freezing into Tuesday morning. If there’s any frozen precip in the AM, it will transition to rain showers early tomorrow, though I think most of the region stays dry and above freezing.
There’s another small system that may bring some mainly morning rain showers on Christmas Day, but all of the precipitation for this should be rain. Again, not much of a worry.
Friday is the only day that I am concerned about regarding travel as another system may impact the area. Recent model trends have been bringing colder air south into central and northern MD making for the possibility of a wintry event, especially for the afternoon and evening. It’s much to early to guess how it evolves, but I’ll keep an eye on it and update as needed.
Happy Holidays!
