Friday November 5

This morning starts with freezing temperatures in the warning area, but not everyone in southern Maryland got that cold.  Next up will be a storm off of the Southeast US Coast that will be close enough to impact our region with clouds and coastal flooding.

This will NOT be like the last storm, but worth noting. Then we can look forward to a few quiet and warmer days next week.

Morning Surface Weather

High Pressure is in control, helping with the freezing start.  As one system exits of the coast,  a new one forming in the Gulf will track off the Southeast Coast.

This will send high clouds our way, that may thicken up over the weekend.  It will also increase the winds and high water on the coast.

Weekend Weather

This storm off of the Southeast Coast will be met with High Pressure to our north. The combination will help to funnel stronger east winds. That Onshore Flow will enhance two things:

More Clouds

and

Coastal Flooding:

This should be more of an issue on the Atlantic Coast. See the water forecast maps here.

Storm Forecast:

European Model through Monday shows the rain staying just south of Delmarva. This is a close call, and close enough for clouds and winds to expand farther into Maryland.

Cloud Forecast:

This shows more clouds this weekend, clearing out on Monday. The numbers are cloud temperatures in ºC.

Saturday Temps

Morning

Still areas below freezing, but otherwise widespread frost.

Afternoon

Remaining cooler than average in the 50s.

7 Day Forecast

This weekend we will watch that coastal storm for clouds. Farther west and north may get more sun mixed in.

Next week we clear out and warm up above average for the bulk of the week.
