Welcome back warmth! A warm front has ushered in some warmer weather for the middle part of March. However, the clouds and windy conditions are limiting how much we can actually enjoy the warm temps. While the warm air won't stick around long, get used to the wind...it'll will be here for another day. A cold front will pass through tonight bringing some rain and possibly a thunderstorm and some cooler weather for the first day of Spring. It's a pretty potent system and it has some pretty strong winds, especially aloft where the winds are in excess of 50 mph. Some of those strong winds may be mixed down to the surface tonight allowing the possibility for a few gusts over 30 or 40 mph. While the rain will end by Thursday morning, the winds will continue throughout Thursday afternoon and there may even need to be advisories issued.
Speaking of advisories, there is a Coastal Flood Advisory in effect until 6 AM Thursday morning for Dorchester, Wicomico, and Somerset counties. Gusty southerly winds along with the high tide cycle may combine to create some minor tidal flooding. Tides are expected to be around 1.5 feet above normal for this afternoon's high tide and Thursday morning's high tide. The Southern half of Dorchester county southward toward Crisfield are the areas most likely to experience some flooding, according to the NWS.
