January 18 2023

Wednesday Morning Report

A bit of rain passed through overnight, adding to the moisture and some pockets of fog. The thicker fog appears to be around I-95, north and south of Baltimore.

Gusty winds today will keep us mild, but a cooler trend is on the way. That will start with rain tomorrow, then we watch a little more wintry ‘stuff’ mixing in with the next two follow up events.

Headlines

  • Today: Patchy Early Fog, Gusty Winds Develop

Storm Simulation

ECMWF Model 7 PM THU to 7 AM MON

The European Model has been steady in the transition with a shift of storm track. We are missing arctic air, but the southern push of storms will allow for a little more wintry weather closer to home.   

This is a signal of a change as the atmosphere is trying.

Snapshot: Sunday Evening

This looks like it will start with some wintry mix, especially inland. At this point it looks like the warm ground and marginal temps will not support stickage. Just local roads will be wet.

January 18 weather Sunday snow rain

 

 

Snapshot: Next Tuesday

The next storm system will have colder air and perhaps a little more snow at the start.  Just keeping this on the docket in our look at the week ahead.

January 18 weather Tuesday snow rain

 

7 Day Forecast

Temperatures drop to near seasonal levels. The pattern change is the storm track. No true arctic air, yet… But we see a change in the storm track to introduce some wintry mix. That will be more likely west and north of Baltimore.
