February 6 2023

Monday Morning

We have already turned the corner. The historic cold air (for New England) and our bitter chill has quickly changed. Today will be a rather pleasant day by early February standards.  We have a warm week ahead, but there is still some attempt of winter trying to show up next weekend.

Today is the anniversary day of two of the most extreme snow weeks on record in our region. This was the 5th largest snow storm, but the first of two blizzards to hit in 5 days of 2010.  See today’s anniversary event below.

Morning Surface Weather

A shift of winds still has variable cloud cover, however the winds are shifting from the Southwest and will pump in warmer air for a few days.

CLIMATE DATA

TODAY February 6

Normal Low in Baltimore:  26ºF

Record 1ºF in 1895

SNOW: 16.0” 2010

Normal High in Baltimore: 45ºF

Record 72ºF 2008

Climate Trivia: 2010 Blizzards

Today was the culmination of the first of two blizzards to hit in February of 2010. Both record storms helped bring 50 inches of snow to Baltimore in February that year. That is more than double an average season.

It started a controversial debate during the afternoon. There were a few hours left of the heavy snow and about to break the all time record, then NWS stopped reporting measurements. Then retroactively they lowered the snow totals, dating back to 2000. This was explained as different methods of snow measurements from NWS standards and FAA guidelines. The NWS Observer was removed in budget cuts, leaving the FAA to monitor observations at BWI.

Both record storms added to a total 50 inches of snow to Baltimore that February. That is more than double an average season. The season total was 77 inches.  That was more than triple an average season!

Not as cold.

February 6 weather temperatures tuesday morning

 

Afternoon Temperatures

Many will aim for 50ºF, but added clouds may limit the boost.

Tuesday Afternoon To Wednesday Morning

This cold front will be falling apart. The line of rain showers seems to break up as it crosses our region Tuesday night. This is quite symbolic of the cold air having trouble getting here and holding ground. Beyond this we get into the next spring like set up later in the week.

Storm Animation Thursday Morning To Saturday Night

The ECMWF Model storm pattern does ride the warm air and the same old storm track well to our west. This brings us yet another rain event. Then a possible last wave shifting south with colder air and an attempt to bring inland snow. But this solution shows the storm in New England, well to our north at this time.

Next Weekend Snapshot

Once again both the European ECMWF and GFS Models have shown a storm beyond a week, then as we get closer they lose it. The timing in the modeling is simply off.  This is the latest set up which keeps snow showers nearby, but the surface Low well to our north in New England.

There is still something to watch, but it does not look promising at this time.

February 10 weather snow next saturday

 

7 Day Forecast

Not much to see here and if you want snow, look away… until Saturday. We are once again in a rare mild pattern, however there is a signal for colder air next weekend. At this point, there is a small chance for rain or snow showers next weekend. But I am going to lay low on this unless there is an abrupt shift in the set up.
