Final round of storms exits Baltimore region late Monday night

THE SEVERE THREAT IS ALMOST OVER FOR THE BALTIMORE AREA. IT IS MAINLY SHIFTED EAST TO BALTIMORE RIGHT NOW WITH. THIS LINE OF RAIN IS COMING THROUGH REALLY QUICKLY AROUND CHESTERTOWN AND CENTERVILLE. IN FACT, THUNDERSTORMS ARE POPPING UP EVEN OUT AHEAD OF THAT TOWARDS DOVER. SO THESE ARE ALL CAPABLE OF PRODUCING DAMAGING WINDS. AND THIS WHOLE LINE IS MOVING QUICKLY TO THE EAST AT 60MPH. THE TRICKY THING IS THERE’S NOT A LOT OF LIGHTNING WITH IT. SO YOU MAY NOT HEAR THE THUNDER, WHICH MEANS YOU MAY NOT BE USED TO THOSE SAME CUES THAT YOU NORMALLY LOOK TO. SO IF YOU’RE IN THESE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNINGS, YOU WANT TO BE HEADING INDOORS UNTIL THAT STORM SYSTEM PASSES. AND EVEN AFTER THAT INITIAL GUSTY LINE OF RAIN COMES THROUGH, THERE COULD STILL BE A FEW STRONG GUSTS BEHIND THE COLD FRONT THROUGH ABOUT MIDNIGHT. THIS IS A VERY POWERFUL COLD FRONT. THE FACT THAT YOU’RE SEEING SEVERE WEATHER TO THE EAST AND SNOW TO THE WEST SHOWS YOU JUST HOW QUICKLY THE TEMPERATURE IS CHANGING BEHIND THIS FRONT, SO IT’S STARTING TO CHANGE OVER TO A MIX OF SOME SNOW IN FREDERICK COUNTY, EVEN THE NORTHWEST TIER OF CARROLL COUNTY.

TEMPERATURES ARE ABOVE FREEZING, BUT IT IS QUICKLY GETTING COLDER NOW THAT THE FRONT HAS MOVED IN 60 ON THE EASTERN SHORE, BUT IT’S NOW IN THE 30S. EVEN AROUND WESTMINSTER. AND WITH THAT BIG CHANGE IN TEMPERATURES, WE’RE GETTING SOME GUSTY WINDS. WE HAVE SEEN A FEW REPORTS OF WINDS GUSTING OVER 60MPH WITH THESE STORMS, BUT IN GENERAL, THE WINDS ARE STILL RATHER GUSTY, BETWEEN ABOUT 30 TO 40MPH. THERE COULD STILL BE A FEW STRONG GUSTS EVEN THROUGH ABOUT MIDNIGHT TONIGHT, AND THEN THE BREEZE WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TOMORROW, WHICH JUST ADDS A CHILL. IT IS QUICKLY GETTING COLDER NOW, FALLING DOWN INTO THE 40S AND THE 30S OVERNIGHT. THE SEVERE THREAT IS MAINLY OVER BY MIDNIGHT WHEN THE RAIN AS WELL AS THE GUSTY WINDS MOVE OUT OF THE AREA, WILL CLEAR OUT OVERNIGHT. WE’LL GET TO ENJOY SOME SUN EARLY TOMORROW, BUT IT’S GOING TO BE A COLDER DAY WITH THE MORNING TEMPERATURES NEAR 30 DEGREES. SO AGAIN, THIS FINAL INTENSE LINE OF RAIN IS MOVING EAST. BUT EVEN BEHIND THAT THERE COULD BE A BRIEF MIX OF SOME SNOW ACROSS OUR NORTH AND WEST SUBURBS. THEN AFTER THAT, WE’RE GOING TO BE DEALING WITH A COLD, BRISK WIND THROUGH THE DAY. ON TUESDAY, TEMPERATURES WILL BE STUCK BELOW NORMAL, ONLY NEAR 40 IN THE AFTERNOON. THERE MIGHT EVEN BE A FEW SNOW FLURRIES OUTSIDE. JUST TO TELL YOU HOW COLD IT IS WITH THIS FRONT SEVEN DAY FORECAST. SO IT IS GOING TO FEEL COLDER FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS WITH HIGHS IN THE 30S. NIGHTTIME LOWS IN THE 20S. IT WILL DROP BELOW FREEZING AGAIN EVEN ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THURSDAY THEN GETS A LITTLE CLOSER TO NORMAL IN THE UPPER 40S. AND THEN WE’RE BACK TO THE 50S ON FRIDAY, THE FIRST OFFICIAL DAY OF SPRING.
