Wednesday Morning Update
Another storm will affect us today. This is an active late-season pattern, just missing the cold air. So, in a normal winter, we could have been talking about snow for some of us. That just isn’t happening.
The temperatures remain mild with the next storm this weekend, once again, as the cold air eludes us. Perhaps the groundhog was right after all.
Moderate temperatures with areas of thick fog… especially on the west side of Baltimore.
This complex storm system includes may parts.
A coastal Low will provide heavier rain earlier in the day across Delmarva as it moves north.
The main storm will collapse into the Mid-Atlantic with steady rain inland tonight.
Heavier rain arrives earlier on Delmarva. It will be damp inland with drizzle and showers. The steadier rain will arrive tonight.

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
