Saturday Morning Update
The good news is that the storm we just had underperformed. The squall line did not fully materialize. Wind and flood damage was mitigated, and we definitely had much less impact than the prior storm on Tuesday.
Now, we get the cold air wrapping in the back side. This new air mass will come in with force, so A Wind Advisory remains in place. Gusts up to 50 mph as temperatures will drop during the day. We will have a wind chill later today!
An upper air disturbance will bring a chance for snow showers east of the mountains on Sunday morning.
As for Tuesday, I still see a hint of light snow but not a strong storm. The upper-level energy may remain jet streak based, but not fully translating to an organized surface Low. If the ‘spin’ can get generated sooner, then it will change. But for now, we must lean on the light side.
Arctic air will remain for the week ahead.

Current Set Up
Morning Surface Weather
The double barrel Low Pressure is located between Lake Huron and The Catskill Mountains in New York.
Colder winds will pick up quickly as a new air mass arrives.
The core of this cold has temperatures BELOW ZERO across the Central and Northern Plains.
Wind Forecast: 8 AM to 7 PM
Strong winds will average 20 to 30 mph. Peak gusts may reach 50 mph.
Afternoon Temperatures
The numbers may actually drop during the day as the new air mass arrives.
Wind Chill
It will feel at least 10 degrees colder with the strong wind!
CLIMATE DATA: Baltimore

Sunday Weather
The energy from a jet streak with the arrival of arctic air may be enough to carry one disturbance over the mountains. This has been reflected in the radar simulation.
Jet Stream: Sunday Morning
Radar Simulation: 7 AM to 3 PM
Snapshot: 11 AM Sunday
This trough may show up as a line of snow showers. It may display as flurries with pockets of heavier showers and a brief coating in spots.

Temperatures Afternoon
Snow Next Week?
This is still looking like a weak system with more of a jet streak than an organized Low Pressure for us. I need to lean towards the lighter side for this system. If you really want an idea of what this can produce, the best suggestion is a coating to maybe 1 or 2 inches at best.

7 Day Forecast
The most noticeable part of the next week will be the true winter cold. This is not extreme for our region, but much of the week may remain near or below freezing, even in metro areas.
This may help ice formation on the northern part of the Chesapeake Bay and area reservoirs.
I’ve included the
- Sunday snow showers in the morning
- Tuesday: Light Snow?
- Friday: I did not post maps, but the pattern is trying to produce another storm system along the arctic front.

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.
