Today will be the coldest day of the week. We continue to be on the edge of a big warm-up in the middle of the nation, and winter hanging on in New England. The net result has us in the transition zone. That will put a light snow or mix on display Tuesday morning, while some accumulating snow will affect travel through the Poconos, New York, and New England.
Christmas looks mild, then another push of cold will include more icy mix to watch later this week.
On the bright side, today is the first FULL DAY of winter with daylight 2 seconds longer than yesterday!
High pressure is in control today with sun and light wind.
The next system will race across the Great Lakes to the Northeast. This is what we are tracking for possible light snow arriving by daybreak tomorrow.
Brief light mix of snow and rain for us, but watch for more snow to our north.
Mild locally, but accumulating impact snow expected for the New York suburbs through New England. This includes Boston.
WESTERN MARYLAND SNOW
Wind is still in full force in this region. A fresh coasting to few inches of snow has blanketed the region.

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 can also 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
