Saturday Night, January 27, 2024

After the record heat and dense fog leading to widespread travel problems, we have a return to reality… sort of. This next storm will come with cooler air, but still mild enough for a rain event. This appears to be arriving overnight, with the heaviest rain in the morning. Then, the rest of Sunday will bring in showers and cooler air… Some snow may mix into the northern suburbs in the evening or at night. However, temperatures remain above freezing, so it should not be an issue. 

Flood Watch

Areas in the 1.5 to 2 inch rainfall areas may get the bulk of it in a 6-hour period close to sunrise.

Rainfall Forecast

The heaviest rain is expected from Metro Baltimore and to the West/South. Less rain will fall to the north, but it will still be a soggy Sunday. 

Saturday Evening Surface Weather

Low Pressure will be bringing the steady rain in tonight, with the heavier rain before sunrise.

Sunday Weather

It looks like the heavy rain will be in the morning, then break into showers in the afternoon. That hint of snow may still happen, but mainly north and back in the high mountains to the west. Not much cold air for this to be an issue on roads.

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
