(WSYM) - FOX47 News is helping inform you of the top local stories in your neighborhood. Happening Today helps neighbors know what is going on throughout the day.
Today's Weather Forecast
Today, low pressure will bring more rain showers to our neighborhoods as we are expecting highs in the mid to upper 40s. We could see .2"-.3" of rain as this system moves through from the late morning hours and into the late afternoon hours. As we head into the overnight hours, we will start to see the influence of cold air advection bringing our temperatures at or below freezing allowing for our first snowflakes of the season. By daybreak on Thursday, we are looking to trend our accumulations below an inch with slush on the roads and some snow on some grassy surfaces. Our soil temperatures are still above freezing, so we should see the snow melt as we raise our temperatures during the day. Things could still change and we will be keeping you updated throughout the day today.
