Inconsequential Wet Snow Likely Wednesday Night

After a month long break from our last shot at snow, another storm is brewing that could give us the first snow of winter. However, this event will likely be as significant as our last (not very). Heavy rain will be falling all day tomorrow and as it gets colder overnight, wet snow will start to mix in, and the storm could potentially end early Thursday morning as all snow. That said, temperatures will be too high for any significant accumulation, and a dusting, especially on cars and grass, is most likely for Bethesda and Silver Spring. However, our redneck friends up in Damascus and Clarksburg could get an inch or so out of this event, as it will be slightly colder there.
In most snow events, especially those this early in the season, a degree or two can make a big difference, and this storm unfortunately will not be cool enough to create any significant accumulations. No storms seem to be coming up anytime soon, but when the next one does, I'll keep you updated.
