Saturday February 10 2018

A Flood Watch has been posted for much of our region starting Saturday evening and going through midnight tomorrow night. The storm on the way is a warm one with all rain, so a bit sad for snow lovers. But this will be beneficial to the severe drought conditions we have. The storm has adjusted the track a little west, to send even more rain. This may be more rain for the Baltimore area than we have seen since late last July, which could push into the 2 to 4 inch range.

The there thing about this storm is the warm air.  Maryland will be the dividing line for the surge of very warm air and parts of the state will be close to 70ºF in Sunday. That is no joke…. but Baltimore and norther areas are likely just miss that as we are in line for the heavy rain train! In fact, we could possibly have some thunder with the downpours on Sunday.

Outlook

We are NOT done with winter yet.  I believe the warm surge with this storm… and perhaps again next week will be replaced by one more cold snap as we head into March. Stay tuned and keep you FITF.
