Upcoming Weather Events
As the Baltimore area transitions from November to December, residents can expect a series of weather changes, including chances for snow and wintry mixes. The National Weather Service (NWS) has forecasted a 100% chance of rain, snow, and sleet on Sunday, with temperatures peaking at 46°F. However, precipitation is not expected to accumulate on the ground. Wind gusts may reach up to 18 mph, with overnight lows dropping to around 32°F.
On Tuesday, a more significant weather system is anticipated, bringing a 60% chance of snow from 1 to 4 a.m., transitioning to rain by 10 a.m. This system could result in about half an inch of snow accumulation. Highs on Tuesday are expected to be in the low 40s, with overnight lows dropping to the upper 20s.
Weather Patterns and Impacts
The weather pattern for the upcoming week indicates a mix of conditions. After a sunny and pleasant Monday with highs around 45°F, the forecast suggests a return of winter weather on Tuesday. The NWS has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for areas north and west of Baltimore, where the potential for accumulating snow and ice is higher.
The cold and active weather pattern is expected to continue, with temperatures remaining below average in the 40s throughout the week. By late Friday into Saturday, another storm system may bring additional wintry weather.
Official Statements & Responses
The NWS has declared Sunday a "First Alert Weather Day," advising residents to prepare for damp and potentially hazardous travel conditions due to the wintry mix. They noted that while accumulations are not expected in most areas, caution is advised for travel, especially in regions experiencing wet roads and gusty winds.
Criticism & Opposition
Some local meteorologists have expressed concerns about the uncertainty surrounding the storm systems, particularly regarding the exact track and strength of the incoming weather. This uncertainty could lead to significant variations in snowfall and rain amounts, which may impact travel plans for residents returning from the Thanksgiving holiday.
Conflicting Reports & Gaps
There are discrepancies in the forecast regarding the timing and intensity of the wintry mix on Sunday and Tuesday. While some sources indicate a brief period of snow before transitioning to rain, others suggest that the primary impact will be rain, with minimal snow accumulation expected. Additionally, the potential for freezing rain remains uncertain, particularly in areas north and west of Baltimore.
