Wednesday October 20
On this date in 1940, Baltimore had an early snow event. It spanned two days and totaled 1.3” of snow. In contrast, this year we remain in a clear sky pattern for the Full Hunter’ Moon today. It officially occurs this morning, but will appear full again this evening and tomorrow.
The next cold front will arrive Thursday night, followed by a much cooler weekend.
We still have a potential for the first (widespread inland) frost Sunday morning. There was some patchy frost on car tops and rooftops yesterday morning. This weekend may require protecting plants.
High Pressure directly overhead provides a clear sky. The wind will be light, but shifting to a warmer direction.

The Cold Front arrives overnight Thursday into Friday morning. This will being showers to the mountains, and some may reach our NW hilly suburbs after dark, before falling apart.
The next push of showers will be Saturday afternoon.
The jet stream will bring in a trough of chilly air. This is what may provide the chance for frost Sunday morning.
