Wednesday Morning Report
A bit of rain passed through overnight, adding to the moisture and some pockets of fog. The thicker fog appears to be around I-95, north and south of Baltimore.
Gusty winds today will keep us mild, but a cooler trend is on the way. That will start with rain tomorrow, then we watch a little more wintry ‘stuff’ mixing in with the next two follow up events.
No part of the region is below freezing this morning.
Patchy fog around I-95 this morning. Gusty winds will be building in and helping to dry us out today.
The snow moving out of the Colorado Rockies will track into the north central plains then the Great Lakes. Another round of severe storms in the south as that will be our rain maker tomorrow.
Mild but gusty winds.
Winds will increase from the Northwest between 10 to 20 mph, with gusts up to 30 mph.

The heaviest rain will arrive with the back edge of this system. There may be some pockets of lightning and thunder.
The European Model has been steady in the transition with a shift of storm track. We are missing arctic air, but the southern push of storms will allow for a little more wintry weather closer to home.
This is a signal of a change as the atmosphere is trying.
This looks like it will start with some wintry mix, especially inland. At this point it looks like the warm ground and marginal temps will not support stickage. Just local roads will be wet.
The next storm system will have colder air and perhaps a little more snow at the start. Just keeping this on the docket in our look at the week ahead.
Temperatures drop to near seasonal levels. The pattern change is the storm track. No true arctic air, yet… But we see a change in the storm track to introduce some wintry mix. That will be more likely west and north of Baltimore.
