Tuesday Feb 5 2019

Today is National Weather Person Day. I guess a way to honor the humans making the forecast instead of the groundhog. Contrary to Phil, many of us humans believe winter will make a return. It may be noticeable a soon as next week. But we still have a warm up under way. Today, temperatures will soar into the upper 60s. There might be some inland spots close to 70ºF. Before we get ahead of ourselves, I want to remind you of little recent history.

Baltimore Record Highs Followed By Snow

Feb 7 2017 = 72ºF
Feb 8 2017 = 72ºF
March 13-14 2017 2.2″ snow

Often extremes swing in both directions. Notice 2018, when snow was followed by record warmth in less than 1 week, then followed by snow within a a few weeks.

Feb 17 2018 2.2″ snow
Feb 20 2018 = 76ºF
Feb 21 2018 = 79ºF
March 6-7 2018 1.8″ snow
March 20-21 2018 4.9″ snow

Today:

This will be our warmest day of the week. An impressive looking storm is moving off of the Carolina coast. A cold front to our west will help pump warm air ahead of it, but bring us back down to the chill tomorrow.
