Wednesday Morning Report
This morning brings a taste of winter with cold temps and moisture in the air. The net result is thick frost you may need some extra time to thaw or scrape off your vehicle. There are also areas of patchy thick fog.
The day ahead will bring an increase in clouds, then some rain showers tonight. A brief mix is possible in the higher hills, but the focus is on the warming.
The next storm may bring two rounds of heavy rain bands and some thunder, followed by a colder weekend.
Colder air, back to near normal….
There is thick frost on many vehicles this morning. Consider taking an extra 10 minutes to thaw or scrape.
The storms continue for California, and that inland track keeps taking the cold and snow from the Rockies to the Great Lakes.
After our frosty morning, we will get in on the warming ahead of that storm, resulting in a rain event.
Seasonably Cold
The first showers will arrive this evening and tonight, as the warmer air builds in. There may be some snow or sleet mixing in north of Baltimore briefly.
Normal Low in Baltimore: 26ºF

SNOW: 3.8” 1954
Normal High in Baltimore: 43ºF

1 PM Thu to 1 PM Fri
The winds will increase from the South, pumping in warmer air to feed the rain. Then on Friday morning, it will swing to the West as the storm moves away.
Light showers and drizzle.
This is the first of two bands of heavy rain that may contain some thunder.
The second band of heavy rain. This one with Low Pressure passing through central Maryland.
Colder air behind the storm will bring a few inches of fresh snow to the western Maryland mountains.
Warmer air keeps flowing in with the rain. The high temperature should be just before midnight.
Last night I wrote this report about the time window for the pattern change… Yes, it is later, but still expected before the end of the month.
Rain showers Thursday into Friday morning. Then the colder air will follow (again).
