October 16 Severe Storm Risk And Tracking The Rain Line

Forecast
Warnings

Saturday October 16

We start off warm again, but will end chilly. Yesterday, BWI hit 85ºF, just missing matching the record. Today the heat ends as strong cold front will cross the region, bringing the chance for storms to turn severe.  In addition it does appear the rain may actually last linger more than just one hour as I suggested yesterday.

Note: I will be trying something NEW today, and I hope it will help you throughout the day.  See more below. 

Morning Surface Weather

Temps start off feeling like summer ahead of the front. That cold front has already produces severe storms and tornado warnings in parts of western Pennsylvania.  Behind the front, temps will drop quickly. 

As for the rain, it will linger behind the front. So the duration should be longer than just one hour. See the timeline sliders below.

If you are heading out to a game or hiking, plan for wet weather AND a change from temps 75ºF to 80ºF to the 60s and 50s.

 

 

Severe Storm Risk

When we time that front during the afternoon, metro areas should expect the worst between 2 and 4 PM. One important factor is that the strongest part will be on the north end in Harford, Cecil, York, and Lancaster Counties.

 

NEW UPDATED ITEMS HERE

This new version of my website has alerts posted as they are issued. I can now post updates with important weather conditions quickly to help you plan. 

Metro areas can expect the worst weather between 2 and 4 PM. If you are west and north it will be sooner. However, if you are south and east storms will be later. I want to help you track it where you are.
