Tuesday Morning Report
Colder air is back, along with gusty winds, for a few days. We may see flurries tonight and again later on Thursday.
Mild air this weekend may bring rain showers, but the Polar Vortex outlook will be a major factor in our arctic plunge next week. Light snow may develop Sunday night as the coldest air of the season arrives next week.

The leading edge of this new push of cold air is showing up already…
We are back into the chilly air, and winds will be increasing.
A little clipper will be racing east and will only bring us flurries tonight.
A few pushes of colder air will bring flurries tonight and a larger push of flurries or light snow on Thursday.
Strong winds will kick up as a new cold airmass builds in.
One more impulse may bring flurries or light snow.
We will get a surge of mild air with rain showers just ahead of the Arctic boundary. As the leading edge of that air mass arrives, there is still a hint of snow (light) breaking out Sunday night into Monday morning.
Rain showers, then a band of light snow with a Low forming off the coast.
Suggestion not a promise of light snow breaking out as the arctic air moves in… There will be some adjustments… but there has been a consistent outlook of some type of event in the transition.
The Polar Vortex may skim the US and Canadian border. It will influence the very cold push all the way down to the Gulf Coast with a deep freeze.
The Polar Vortex Influence will bring the coldest air of the season across the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley… our way.
Valid Jan 21 to Jan 27
After a few windy and colder days, there will be another brief warm-up this weekend, followed by the leading edge of the Arctic air mass that will hit us 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
