Friday Morning Report
The storm is moving away. Baltimore’s BWI received. 0.78” of rain yesterday. They have 2.44” for the month, which is 3-TIMES normal to this date! We need a break!
It’s been a while, but we should get a bit of sun this morning. That I after some areas have early fog burn off. However, we are in a cool pattern aloft that is unstable. We call this self destructing sunshine, and the clouds will inevitably develop later this morning leading to rain showers.
Tonight some heavy rain will fall, making for soggy fields into the weekend. Western Maryland will pick up additional snow.
Sunday will be breezy and chilly, but we will turn the corner to warmer weather next week.

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.
