3/22 DC/MD/VA Weather Outlook

Posted on March 22, 2005 By Mid Atlantic Weather No Comments on 3/22 DC/MD/VA Weather Outlook

Another pleasant Spring Day today will be abruptly ended by severe thunderstorms and very heavy rains tomorrow. A break Thursday, and part of Friday, though rain showers come back into the forecast. Rain on Easter is looking probable. More severe weather possible next week.

Summary: Wow, it no sooner becomes Spring than we get right into the thick of things with severe weather potential and very heavy rains possible tomorrow. Enjoy today as it will be nearly seasonal with highs in the upper 50s to near 70 in the south! As the large storm system starts to affect our region overnight, expect cold rain to overspread the region. Tomorrow, as the southern portions break out of the colder air east of the mountains, I expect the afternoon to have scattered strong to severe thunderstorms. The Severe Storms Prediction Center has outlined parts of Southern and Southeastern Virginia in a slight risk and note that Hail is the likely issue, though they mention strong shear, which should lend itself to the possibility of isolated tornadoes. For northern Virginia and Maryland, very heavy rains, on the order of 1-2 inches is possible by the time the storm ends tomorrow night. A day break and then an unsettled weekend will be upon us with the possibilities of rain and thunder on Easter. Next week we do appear to break the 70 degree mark and have yet another chance of severe weather and heavy rains!
