Today's update is presented by Dutch Elm Golf Course in Arundel, opening for the season this weekend with details to be released via email today and the tee sheet to go live on the website soon. Check out some of my photography and get more information at https://dutchelmgolf.com/  THURSDAY: No changes to the forecast posted here on Wednesday. A few slick spots are in areas away from the shorelines through midday. Cold air damming does its thing and may slow down the changeover to rain, but the thermal environment favors sleet more than freezing rain in the junk department. As warm air moves in at the surface with the help of a southerly flow, travel conditions improve over interior areas in the afternoon. The winter weather advisories in place are expected to expire on time or be canceled earlier as conditions warrant. Fog will become locally dense in areas in the afternoon, which may reduce visibility on the roads for the evening commute. THURSDAY NIGHT: A trailing cold front sweeps through the region with little fanfare other than a wind shift to the northwest that brings cold air back in overnight. As temperatures fall back to around freezing by Friday's daylight, patchy black ice could form over interior areas from any standing water. FRIDAY / FRIDAY NIGHT: Expect a breezy day statewide as the northwest flow continues. The north and western mountains see cloudier conditions, with rain/snow showers possible. There will be more sun closer to the coast. The day's high temperature occurs around midnight and falls during the day. The wind gradually subsides Friday night into Saturday morning.  SATURDAY: The day starts dry with clouds on the increase. Guidance ideas differ on the location of high pressure to the east, which will dictate the onset time of the next round of the four precipitation food groups moving in later in the day and into Saturday night. The north stays dry until evening, and there is a good chance southwestern areas will see precipitation breaking out roughly mid-afternoon. SATURDAY NIGHT: Another round of junk passes through the region, bringing snow, sleet, and freezing rain over the interior, with rain for the coast. Cold air damming may again delay temperatures rising above freezing over the interior. Any overnight travel could be slick in spots around the Route 2 corridor northward. SUNDAY: Expect a rainy start with rising temperatures. Showers become more widely scattered by the afternoon. Coastal areas may experience fog in the afternoon and evening.  EXTENDED OUTLOOK: A cold front passes through the region Sunday night. Monday appears dry, with the next chance for precipitation on Tuesday/Wednesday. Certain guidance suggests snow or junk may be the main feature, but given the state of weather data these days, I don't trust anything I see at this point, so don't buy the hype on that if you see it out there just yet.
