Monday February 14
Morning Report
Cold air has returned with much of the region down well below freezing. Anything that was wet did freeze overnight, so you may encounter some patchy ice walking or driving. But I do not see a widespread issue on roads.
As discussed over the weekend, a disturbance has brought snow showers to our region. This could drop a fresh coating to 1/2” of snow.
This is passing through northern MD Counties. Roads are getting covered on Rt 140 and I-83, so be careful traveling.
It should reach the north side of the beltway by 7 AM
Watch this disturbance develop and drop south.
This band is holding together as it approaches Howard County and Baltimore City.
This has a history of coating the roads with 1/2″ to 1″ of snow, but will pass through in about 30 to 45 minutes.

Seasonal Snow: 14”;
+1.3” ABOVE AVERAGE
Normal Low in Baltimore: 26ºF
Record -2ºF in 1983
Normal High in Baltimore: 45ºF
Record 70ºF 1951
The next storm will track well west and north of us. This will allow a surge of very warm air (60s) and also feed into potential thunder with the rain Thursday night.
The colder air that will follow into next weekend will be near average. It is likely we remain relatively mild for anther week to follow.
Last Winter Recap: My Old Outlook And Your Grades Of My Storm Forecasts
*Disclaimer due to frequent questions:
I am aware there are some spelling and grammar typos. I have made a few public statements over the years, but if you are new here you may have missed it:
I have dyslexia, and found out at my second year at Cornell. I didn’t stop me from getting my meteorology degree, and being first to get the AMS CBM in the Baltimore/Washington region.
I do miss my mistakes in my own proofreading. The autocorrect spell check on my computer sometimes does an injustice to make it worse.
All of the maps and information are accurate. The ‘wordy’ stuff can get sticky.
There is no editor that can check my work when I need it and have it ready to send out in a newsworthy timeline.
I accept this and perhaps proves what you read is really from me…
It’s part of my charm.
