December 8 Turning Mild Then Rain For Ravens On A Soggy Sunday May End With Snow
December 8, 2023
Friday Morning Update
A mild weather pattern for a few days will allow us to get temperatures slightly above average. The next event will be a large storm on Sunday. It will make for a rainy Ravens game with gusty winds.
That storm is looking more interesting. The timeline is speeding up, which may allow colder air to catch up by Monday morning and end with slushy snow in central Maryland and PA. Then we return to colder air next week.
It is too early to try to suggest snow totals or any impact simply because the temperatures will remain above freezing in those local areas that could get snow.

A quiet weather pattern for a few days. After this chilly start, the mild air expands today and into the weekend.
The storm we expect on Sunday is still in its infancy. We will watch the Gulf Coast area for the formation in the next two days.

With more sunshine and a shift of winds, we get back to the 50s.

It is likely with the clear sky, areas of dense fog may form and last much of the morning in some areas.

Next Storm
Storm Simulation: Sunday Morning To Monday Afternoon
Rain will build in during the morning and increase through the day and overnight.
Colder air will catch up at the end and may allow for a few hours of snow in central Maryland in the morning.
Closer View:
Sunday Afternoon:
Moderate to heavy rain will be spreading in…
The Ravens game will be soggy but mild as temps may reach into the 60s.
Sunday Night
The heaviest rain and strongest winds will be overnight.
Snapshot Monday Morning
This has been progressively faster and colder. We will be watching for the slushy snow to reach parts of metro Baltimore at the end of the storm.
Temperatures Monday Morning
Temperatures do not support local stickage. It is possible to get a burst of snow and some coating. I believe the icy or snow-covered roads will be restricted farther west in the colder mountain areas.
Storm Total Precipitation
Most metro areas have a chance to get over the 2-inch total rainfall mark.
7 Day Forecast
Milder air and a surging warm-up with the storm will bring a soggy Sunday for the Ravens game! This may end with a slushy mix for the inland sunburns west and north of Baltimore.
Then, we see the return of colder air.

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 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.
