Thursday January 25

A few flurries reached us overnight, but as the winds ease we will aim for more sun today. Temperatures will be cold and trend warming this weekend with the next storm brining us rain. The pivotal event will be next week with a storm on Groundhog Day (Friday) that may start with rain and end as snow. This will mark the pattern change back to below average temperatures into mid February. Here’s the quick breakdown.

Historical notes today

The first day of the year we climatologically warm one degree.
The 3rd day of a heat wave in 1967 all reaching the 70s in Baltimore
The anniversary of the ‘surprise’ snowstorm in 2000 that brought 14 to 18 inches of snow across Baltimore. We only had 3 winer events that year all within a 10 day period.

Monday Evening Flurries/Snow Showers

There will be a disturbance that follows with flurries or snow showers. This does not look like a travel issue.

Outlook

Groundhog Day Storm And Week That Follows

Regardless of what Phil days, early February looks more like winter. This event should start as rain and turn to snow next Friday. I would not put too much weight in specifics of systems that follow, just the trend there there are some other events that will try to swing our way with the cold air in place. It is WAY TOO EARLY to lock in on intensity air track of storms that have not formed yet. The pattern is trending in the snow favor though.

Jet Stream

The jet stream will be shifting back to the colder pattern for the first week (or longer) in to February)
