Friday Morning Update
On the bright side, today is the first day of the year, with sunset after 6 PM. It may be obscured by increasing clouds as the next storm system arrives. The weather pattern is very active and will send us another developing system. This means it may have the potential to overachieve like the last few.
At this point, the rain is expected to arrive after dark and then fall overnight into Saturday. We may wake up to heavy rain tomorrow morning, but if this follows the pattern, it may race out of here faster. That would leave us an improving afternoon.
This system will bring us the bulk of rain tonight into Saturday morning.

Very warm between these two storms. It may feel like spring is here…
Farther out, there is still one more push of winter mid-month. I am focused on the 10th to 14th if you have any #FITF left.

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
