Wednesday December 1
As we turn the page to a new month, this marks the start of Meteorological Winter. Our seasons are in 3 full month blocks of time, for simplicity of record keeping.
Here is a brief look at what we can expect with the weather this month.
Temps (Hi/Lo)
1st = 52ºF/33ºF
31st = 42ºF/26ºF
Sun Times
1st = Sunrise 7:07 AM; Sunset 4:43 PM
31st = Sunrise 7:26 AM; Sunset 4:53 PM
Winter Solstice (Astronomical Winter Begins)
December 21 at 10:58 AM
*Days slowly begin to get longer after this day.
Full Moon:
December 19 is the Cold Moon
Snow:
Average = 2.5”
Most = 20.4” in 1966.
2nd was 20.1” in 2009. This is debatable based on measuring for a big storm that was retroactively lowered.
Another quick moving system will arrive later today. This will be on a track farther south, but with warmer air. We will expect rain by this evening with temps in the 40s.
Not much freezing air to be found as the mild push is already underway.
This product has been slow and a little limited with comparison to radar verification. So the rain may arrive in central Maryland close to sunset.
This will end before sunrise on Thursday.
Normal Low in Baltimore: 32ºF
Record 12ºF in 1967
Normal High in Baltimore: 50ºF
Record 75ºF 2006
This will be the warmest day of the week, and turning windy.
A Wind Advisory has been issued for the mountains. Gusts may reach 60 mph on the mountain peaks and some roadways.
We may see that ‘Advisory’ expanded farther east.
Somewhat uneventful weather this weekend with temps within 5 degree of average.
Our next weather event will be Monday with rain showers, followed by a push of slightly colder air.
