Wednesday Morning Report
Baltimore hit 66ºF yesterday, showing once again that when we get a warm-up, we often end up with higher temperatures than forecast. Today, the clear sky allowed temperatures to chill overnight, and they will bounce once again to the lower 60s in metro areas.
The next weather system will bring more clouds, with rain showers skirting the hills north and west through Southern Pennsylvania this afternoon.
More rain will spread across the region tonight into the first half of Thursday. Then strong winds will push back a gradual cool down into the weekend.
Longer-range weather does show a winter-like jet stream showing up next week.

DROUGHT UPDATE
Rainfall Deficit at BWI
The BIG WARM UP is very noticeable in the Southern Plains.
Clear here in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic which has allowed for a chilly morning and will also allow a warmer afternoon.
The next storm will be a quick mover and bring in clouds with rain showers remaining north today. The rain will be steady and more widespread tomorrow.
Some rain showers will clip Northern Maryland and Southern Pennsylvania. Most of the region will remain dry.
A wet morning with rain across the region.
Steady rain in the morning, then the cold front with the back edge will move across Delmarva in the afternoon.
Rain will end in metro areas but last a few extra hours in Southern Maryland and Delmarva.
The direction will shift behind the rain and cold front. Gusts over 30 mph.
Strong winds will continue to push cooler air in overnight.
The active pattern will push routine colder air in during the first week of March. There is no guarantee of winter weather, but there is a good chance we have to watch closely as spring is not fully here yet.
After the rain, we should remain quiet, just fluctuating temperatures into early next week.

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 while writing and to 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
