February 13 Winter Weather Advisory This Morning With Snow Burst Then Strong Wind
February 13 2024
Tuesday Morning Update
This morning will have rapidly changing conditions. At the time you read this, in some areas, it is already snowing, and others have it on the way. In fact, you might be in the transition zone that could be rain as you began this article and could mix over by the time you finish it. I don’t kid… I actually watched the change over at my house during the time I made my coffee.
The snow burst will last close to 3 hours for most areas, and it will reach the coast later this morning. Those inland west and north of I-95 will get it before sunrise, which allows the best chance for stickage.
Temps may drop to near freezing or remain just above freezing with the burst.

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
