February 6 Ice Update And Thawing: Next Ice Saturday Evening And Snow Tuesday
February 6 2025 Thursday Report There is a lot to cover this morning. The ice is thick and dangerous for some, marginal in other places, and just wet father south…

Wednesday Update
The main issue has been the smokey haze that has returned with this pleasant air mass. This time the smoke has been from wildfires in Western Canada, so the haze has been high in the atmosphere and not close to the surface. However, some (including me) have smelled smoke at times.
We will have this smoke around for anther day, then with the warming winds the smoke will push out of here. That will bring in more humidity and storms to end the week.

This coloring from James Willinghan in Wildwood, NJ was thanks to the smoke.
Smoke Forecast
We are on the edge of it today and may get a thicker plume overnight and Thursday morning. Then improving during the day on Thursday.
Morning Surface Weather
High Pressure has brought us this wonderful air mass with cooler temps… And smoke from wildfires in Western Canada.
As warmer air moves in the winds will push the smoke away and bring some storms our way late Thursday and Friday.
We may escape the swelter, but record heat remains in the Southern Plains and Southwest US.
Afternoon Temperatures
Still cooler than average.

4 Days From Today!
Maryland Trek 10
The 10th Maryland Trek starts Sunday, August 6. I will be hiking and biking 329 miles with my team during a 7-day stretch to honor kids in cancer treatment. I will be forecasting daily but in a limited scope.
We have already raised OVER $50K… Our goal is $140,000 to fund our programs for over 140 families.
I hope you will consider supporting our mission and holistic programs at Just In Power Kids. Click the image to donate.
7 Day Forecast
The trade-off of the smoke clearing will be with the wind shift and warmer temps. This will bring in more humidity AND more storms. At this point the active weather may be limited to the late hours of Thursday and more active Friday… leading to a nice weekend for the start of Maryland Trek 10.
Next week may begin with more rain.

RESTATING MY MESSAGE ABOUT DYSLEXIA
I am aware there are some spelling and grammar typos and occasional other glitches. I take responsibility for my mistakes, and even the computer glitches I may miss. 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 during my second year at Cornell University. It didn’t stop me from getting my meteorology degree, and being the first to get the AMS CBM in the Baltimore/Washington region. One of my professors told me that I had made it that far without knowing, and to not let it be a crutch going forward. That was Mark Wysocki and he was absolutely correct! I do miss my mistakes in my own proofreading. The autocorrect spell check on my computer sometimes does an injustice to make it worse. I also can make mistakes in forecasting. No one is perfect predicting the future. All of the maps and information are accurate. The ‘wordy’ stuff can get sticky. There has been no editor that can check my work when I needed it and have it ready to send out in a newsworthy timeline. Barbara Werner is a member of the web team that helps me maintain this site. She has taken it upon herself to edit typos, when she is able. That could be AFTER you read this. I accept this and perhaps proves what you read is really from me… It’s part of my charm.
