Monday October 25
We get one more warm day surging in ahead of our next storm. This may help fuel a line of strong storms that may turn severe this afternoon and evening.
The record high at BWI today is 77ºF, set in 1931. It is the only record below 80ºF and actually the coolest record for the entire month. This is likely to get beat today.
Light jacket this morning, T-shirt this afternoon, with rain coat or umbrella to carry after 4 PM.
The line of storms will race in by tonight, then we get in on much cooler air Tuesday. A coastal storm will develop and loop off the Northeast coast on Tuesday keeping us in the chilly and bringing back more rain.
Whomever gets in on the severe weather may depend on the timing. A cluster of thunderstorms will try to develop well ahead of the front this afternoon. That will include Virginia and Southern Maryland.
Metro Baltimore to Southern PA likely to get into the storms later, when the energy should weaken a little. Storms likely, but will lose some intensity.
I will have an update on the timing of this line during the day.
An initial cluster of storms may race north along Delmarva lat afternoon.
The main storm line will pass through western MD and Virgina after 4 PM.
Metro areas will be watching for this between 8 PM and midnight.
These numbers will be close to seasonal averages for this date.
Normal Low in Baltimore: 43ºF
Record 28ºF in 1962
Normal High in Baltimore: 64ºF
Record 77º F 1931
*only record below 80ºF in October.
