Sunday January 28 2018

The rain this morning may try to last a little longer. The trend has shown a slower move of the front to the south, which will increase rainfall amounts a little. We can use it as we actually have a moderate drought in the area, despite the mud in your yard. Baltimore is -4.23 of normal precipitation since December 1st. While our snow is near normal, winter precipitation overall has been rather dry. Below is the latest rain simulation timeline today. Following this system, we have a quick moving hit of snow that should reach us Tuesday morning. This looks a little stronger but we need to consider two things for how it may impact our area.

Note: Today is the anniversary of Baltimore’s 4th largest snowstorm on record.

If you miss winter, it will be back. The entire pattern will be changing with a storm on Friday that will bring rain ending as snow. Regardless of what the groundhog says, we have a cold surge for the first half of February with multiple systems trying to dive our way. See it all below…

Note: The arrival will be before sunrise north/west of Baltimore but the ground is still warm. In fact here is the suggestion of where the freezing line may be which might arrive in the city by noon. But, the snow will battle solar radiational heating. So the roads could stay wet in urban areas, but might be slick in the normally colder spots.

The rain to snow event on Friday will be followed by a pattern for a few more systems to follow. I DO NOT like specifics beyond 1 week, but I wanted to show you the trend does have more energy in the pipeline. So don’t lock on days and times for now, but that there are a few systems that will be cold enough for snow in the first 2 weeks of February.
