TODAY: Heavy rain has developed in parts of our region as we anticipate the arrival of Hurricane Sandy. Sandy will make landfall in Southern New Jersey late tonight. The wind and rain will steadily increase as the day progresses. The worst of the conditions will be from noon today into tonight and early tomorrow morning. Rainfall totals with Sandy will range from 3-6 inches with isolated heavier amounts possible. A high wind warning is in effect from 8am Monday - 8pm Tuesday. Winds are expected to gust between 50-60 mph with higher gusts to the east.
A FLOOD WARNING is in effect for the Monocacy River in Frederick County where it is expected to reach major flood stage by Tuesday morning.
A BLIZZARD WARNING is in effect from late tonight into Tuesday in the high elevations of Garrett County in MD and Western Mineral and Grant Counties in WV. Up to a foot of snow is possible, especially at elevations above 2000 feet.
