March 9 Soggy Saturday Wind Advisory Sunday Then Spring Warm Up

March 9, 2024

Saturday Morning Update 

This is our big March storm. This could have been the last winter blast, but the cold air is just not lining up. So we get a soggy Saturday with heavy rain plus some coastal flooding.  The colder air will follow the storm on Sunday, with snow in the mountains. Some flurries may reach the northern suburbs.

Sunday has prompted a Wind Advisory with gusts to 50 mph. Then, a full-out spring warm-up will surge us to the 70s by the end of the work week. 

Weather Alerts

Morning Surface Weather

If you have been keeping track, this has been the pattern on repeat: Low Pressure closer to the coast will enhance the heavier rain ahead of the larger cold front that will sweep the region with widespread rain.

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
