Thursday Morning Update
This morning brings the paradox of light snow as a result of mild air. The warm front swinging through New York state is bringing a burst of snow to the mountains to our north. Some will drop south with flurries or light snow showers near the Maryland line…
The story that follows will be the shift of winds and push of warmer air arriving Friday and this weekend.
A band of snow has expanded through central Pennsylvania. This is dropping south and will bring flakes to York and Lancaster before sunrise. Some flurries or brief snow showers may reach Baltimore County. There is a greater chance for light snow or flurries into Harford and Cecil Counties in northeastern Maryland this morning through noon.
The band of snow crossing Pennsylvania will reach York and Lancaster Counties.
There may be additional light snow or flurries in northern Baltimore, Harford, and Cecil Counties.
If you happen to get a lucky burst of snow, it will not stick.

After a dry Saturday, the storm on Sunday will be the main event. This will bring a surge of warmer air with it, and Sunday will be soggy.
Moderate to heavy rain will be spreading in…
The Ravens game will be soggy but mild as temps may reach into the 60s.
The end of the storm may linger with heavy rain at the start of the day, with a brief mix of sleet or snow for inland areas west and north of Baltimore.
The snow in the mountains of Western MD and WV may be enough to coat the ground again.
Mild air will be moving in ahead of our next storm. Rain on Sunday will make for a soggy Ravens game, but it will be mild. The rain will end Monday morning and may include a brief mix of sleet or snow for the northern suburbs. This will be followed by another cool-down next week.

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 at predicting the future. All of the maps and information are accurate. The ‘wordy’ stuff can get sticky. There has been no editor who can check my work when I need 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 available. 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.
