Monday Morning Update
This is not the winter we expected (so far), but it is about to get more turbulent. The inland areas that had snow over the weekend will have it washed away as the next storm is going to bring very heavy rain. A Flood Watch has been issued for most of the region to receive over 1.5 inches, with some spots pushing the 3-inch mark. I guess the drought may be over!
Flood Watch
More Storm Maps Below
There will be flooding from high water in the Chesapeake Bay as strong winds will be developing from the South. There have been High Wind Watches posted, and more will be added today. If you are traveling on Tuesday, consider the impacts with restrictions likely on bridges and flight delays or cancellations. The storm will cover a large area.
Sadly, this storm pattern may repeat Friday night into Saturday.
Morning Surface Weather
We will have a nice and seasonably cool day. The Storm is developing across North Texas and will take a track to the western Great Lakes. It will be a major snow event for the Northern Plains, but on the east side, it will pull up warm and very unstable air. That is why we expect flooding rain in addition to damaging winds Tuesday night.

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.
