Sunday Morning Update
The region may be fired up over that Ravens win yesterday, but it is still cold! I was there with my son and truly believe we are about to turn the corner in our weather. Today will still bring chilly winds however, we are on a modifying trend. Gradually, we will break above freezing just in time for the next storm to bring rain.
There is one wrinkle with the suggestion that mid-week might have some freezing rain for the colder inland suburbs, and I will touch on that. Otherwise, the January Thaw will surely be here by the end of the week.
Morning Temperatures
Morning Surface Weather
High Pressure will still help redevelop the chilly winds from the Northwest. Temps will remain below freezing, and wind chills will be noticeable.

Looking Ahead: Next Storm Will Be Warmer
Jet Stream: Winds Sunday Night to Friday Morning
Here is a distant shift of the upper-level wind flow. Located at the 500mb level, or around 18,000 Ft, this is the driving force of the storm track.
Storm Snapshot Wednesday
The European Model has a suggestion here: The morning may bring a brief period of freezing drizzle to the colder northern suburbs.
Often, after an arctic air mass and fresh snowpack, we can see some light icing in the transition period ahead of a warmer storm.
Storm Forecast: Wednesday Morning to Friday
The bulk of the rain appears to be on Thursday. By Friday, the storm will move out AND might leave us with a very mild day!
Special Olympics Super Plunge
This is my new friend Daniele, A Special Olympics Athlete and my inspiration!
This Friday, I will be doing 24 plunges in 24 hours at Sandy Point Park. Warmer air will help, but the Chesapeake Bay water is down in the 30s. I hope you will consider supporting my efforts to reach this lofty goal!

After our January Thaw, there is support for a push of colder air and maybe wintry weather to end January.

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. #FITF
