Friday January 19 2018

This morning is still cold and the day will remain chilly. High temperatures will be near average today, and then aim warmer into next week. We have a relative quiet pattern for a few days. While the jet stream relaxes, the next event will bring us rain, but winter is not done by any stretch. Just a break in the action to thaw out. Up to date, temperatures at BWI this January is running -6.3ºF… Below Average! This includes 8 days with high temperatures staying at or below 32ºF. We are due for a little thaw.

Temperature Outlook

Much like our last warm up, I think we could easily hit the 60s ahead of the rain next Monday.

Tuesday: Rain With Next Event

Jet Stream Animation

The warm (orange) and cold (blue) should fluctuate and will over the next 10 days. There is a hint at a storm finishing out January that will start as rain and end with snow. I do not believe in showing surface maps more than 1 week away for most events as it is likely to change. Just keep January 29 to 31 in mind for some transition.
