Wednesday January 14
Winter is about to make a return with cold air. While this is an unsettled pattern, the stars are not aligning just yet to produce any organized winter storms. We will have little disturbances that can produce snow showers on a few days in the near future.
A reinforcing push of arctic air will be colder next week. This is all in line with climatology that typically shows the coldest air of the year during mid to late January.
Winter is a alive and well in Western Maryland. A new Winter Weather Advisory goes into effect tonight for 2 to 4 new inches of snow. Wisp has had 52” of snow already so far this season.

Morning Surface Weather
Some rain developing this morning, but the main event will be later.
Lack of Phasing! If you want a winter storm in the Eastern US, you need a connection of the Northern and Southern branches of the jet stream. They are separated.
The GFS Model (which I never supported) is the one that made the mistake bringing these forces today, tonight, into tomorrow.
The cold air is going to arrive, but not team up over our region.
What we will get is arctic air and a smaller piece of energy to produce occasional snow showers or flurries.

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 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
