Wednesday Morning Update
High Pressure remains in control, and we will spend most of the next week seeing more pre-spring weather rather than late winter. With that said, I do not think we are completely done. Often an early warm-up is met with at least one more fight back of winter…which I still expect in early to mid-March.
The rain on the way will be brief and mostly overnight Thursday into Friday morning. Then the weekend gives us one windy and chilly day, followed by a warm-up into next week.
Morning Temperatures
Morning Surface Weather
High and Dry! Not much happening today with a clear sky. After a chilly start, there will be a return to temps just below seasonal levels this afternoon.
The next weather system will develop, but it doesn’t look like much now and may not be much when it passes us by.

This is looking less impressive for us! At this point, I will suggest brief rain showers Thursday, with some showers overnight and into Friday morning… Then, it will quickly depart with gusty winds to follow into the weekend.

Briefly feeling like winter…sort of
Animation Saturday to Wednesday
There will be a dip of colder air to start the weekend. This will be replaced by a big ridge and a big warm-up early next week. We might see a few days in a row in the 60s….

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
