Temperatures at 11pm Sunday night, per the NAM model. It's been a minute since the last time I saw such a sharp drop in temperatures over such a short distance. #vawx#mdwx
Rain chances will be highest this afternoon west of I-95, especially in/around the Shenandoah Valley/Blue Ridge, into western Maryland. Another round may move through late Saturday afternoon/early evening. #Virginia#vawx#Maryland#mdwx
Chilly again tomorrow morning, but getting up into the low 60s in the afternoon from #RVA to #DC and #Baltimore. We'll see some periods of cloudiness but I don't see any rain chances until Friday evening or Saturday morning, and even then, not a great chance. #vawx#mdwx
Freeze Watch in effect for all of central and eastern #Virginia and just about all of #Maryland from 12am to 9am Thursday morning as overnight low temperatures reach the low 30s and bring frost to the area, effectively ending the growing season. #vawx#mdwx
Looks like we'll see some showers moving through Virginia and Maryland Friday late afternoon/early evening, but the weekend is looking dry, though possibly with a few showers lingering over coastal areas of VA and MD on Saturday morning.
Early next week, it looks like overnight low temperatures in/around the Shenandoah Valley may get quite close to the freezing mark, at least for a morning or two. #vawx#mdwx#dcwx
Upper 60s tomorrow across most of Maryland, 70s across Virginia, maybe hitting 80 near the North Carolina line. Cooler Saturday with showers off and on through the day. Should pick up roughly half an inch of rain. #vawx#mdwx#dcwx
Dense fog advisory in effect this morning for #RVA and surrounding counties, which will dissipate after 9am. Mostly cloudy today across Maryland and Virginia with a weak, dry cold front moving through. Only a very slight chance of a spotty shower or two tomorrow, then much cooler air moves in for Sunday and much of next week. #vawx#mdwx
A bit warmer tomorrow with low 70s across northern #Virginia and #Maryland, and mid 70s around #RVA and southern/southeastern Virginia. More peeks of sunshine as well. It'll be at least Saturday before we see less clouds and more sun. #vawx#mdwx

The water could reach the following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated areas if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide...

Probably too late for the already annoyed followers: BakersRelay will be following Potential Tropical Cyclone Ophelia Tonight through early Sunday morning using #VAwx#NCwx#DCwx and #MDwx and potentially #Ophelia. If you have no desire to follow what might be continuous relaying on the subject feel free to mute me through the deluge off info.
Tomorrow's temperatures; warmer for areas around Richmond, VA and south into the Carolinas where mid 80s will be widespread; mid to upper 70s for northern Virginia into Maryland. #vawx#mdwx
